question about batching accounts

This has happened numerous times, but I've never been able to figure out
why it does this.
When I run External Systems / Batch Accounts, it'll process 1 user (that
was created earlier today), and then afterwards, Emerald says that 10
accounts were updated. Where'd the other 9 come from? This number seems
to change everytime I run the batch process. Sometimes (3) email addresses
will be made successfully, but Emerald says that (7) accounts were updated.
It's never the same number.

There appears to be no problems with anyone's accounts or their mailboxes
(Post.Office 2.0), but I was just curious as to why the last number
displayed is always something higher than the actual mailboxes created.

When the MBR's service is created, I always manually enter in the user's
email address into the Email field. I know that the mailbox by default
will be created using the login@domain.name, but I use sa.email for other
purposes as well as creation of the mailbox, so that's why I always enter
it in there.

Emerald 2.1.11
Post.Office 2.0
SQL 6.5
