tracker does not do a recursive count of the files (would take too long)

instead it uses a dir queue where directories and not files are queued
for processing. file_process_queue will only have the files in the
currently indexed directory present as a result

At best you could guestimate based on length of both dir_queue and
file_process_queue - it wont be perfect but hopefully approximate enough
