In this PR, I'm fixing a bug where ad-hoc tasks would have one fewer
attempts to retry in failure scenarios when using mget.

## To verify

2. Create an always firing rule that runs every hour, triggering a
server log on check intervals
3. Let the rule run and observe the server log action running and
failing three times (as compared to two)
