BufferedReader Problem (inserting space after every character)

Question

(This is a message I sent to an Aglet forum, however I thought maybe someone here could help me with the BufferedReader problem...with the spacing...read below)
-Blake
ok here's what I'm attempting to do.
I have a Master Aglet that creates a slave which is dispatched to a remote site. The Slave then opens a log file, reads it, and then is supposed to read the file line by line and send each line as a message back to the Master. As the master receives each line it appends the line to the window it created earlier.
I don't know what the problem is...it won't display the log file in the master window.
It does display each line on the console window.I added a println() function to make sure the String array was getting the information. There is a small problem with that as well because it inserts a space after EVERY character (BufferedReader problem??)...what is up with that? for example:
If the log file looked like: This is a log file entry.
the console looks like this when it is printed: T h i s i s a l o g f i l e e n t r y .
.... I had done something in a similiar program...and it worked just fine. here's some source code:
<b>Master:</b>
else if (msg.sameKind("Log")) {
try {
//println for testing purposes
System.out.println(msg.getArg());
appendMessage(" " + msg.getArg() + "test \n");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
<b>Slave: </b>
File log = new File("C:\\Aglets2.0.2\\public\\WINDOWSUPDATE.log");
FileReader fr = null;
try{
fr = new FileReader(log);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
System.out.println(e);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
//Get filename of log
try {
Message msg = new Message("FileName", log.getName());
mProxy.sendOnewayMessage(msg);
} catch (InvalidAgletException iae) {
System.out.println(iae.toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
//read each line of file and send back to Master as a message
try{
int i = 0;
while ((s = br.readLine()) != null) {
i++;
count = i;
for (int j = 0; j < count; j++)
System.out.println(s[j]);
//send message back to Master Aglet with log file information
try {
Message msg = new Message("Log", s[j]);
mProxy.sendMessage(msg);
} catch (InvalidAgletException iae) {
System.out.println(iae.toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
//close file reader
fr.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
}

actually i did declare s, you just don't see it there because i only posted some of the code....
I fixed the "spacey" problem by using a FileInputStream instead of a bufferedreader....
like this (i'll post the whole code here:
public class Slave extends BlindAglet {
    AgletProxy mProxy = null;
    boolean back = false;
        char[] c = new char[1000];
    BufferedReader br = null;
    int count;
    // Do some tasks when the aglet is created
    public void onCreation(Object init) {
        // Must make a note of the master here
        mProxy = (AgletProxy)init;       
        // Add our own listener and adapter
        addMobilityListener(
            new MobilityAdapter() {
                // Using this as a safety check in case we get caught in a loop in the same host
                public void onArrival(MobilityEvent event) {                   
                    try {
                        mProxy.sendMessage(new Message("NewSlaveProxy", getAgletContext().getAgletProxy(getAgletID())));                                                            
                    } catch (InvalidAgletException iae) {
                        System.out.println(iae);
                    } catch (NotHandledException ex) {
                        System.out.println(ex);
                    } catch (MessageException ex) {
                        System.out.println(ex);
                    //Are we back to origin?
                        if(back) {         
                             back = false;     
                            try{
                                 FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("test.txt");                                                                  
                             for (int i = 0; i < count; i += 2){ 
                                       fw.write(c);
                         fw.close();
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                              System.out.println(e);
                              dispose();
                         dispose();
); /* End of Adapter */
public void run() {
     // Are we at home base?
if (atHome()) {
try {
dispatch(new URL("atp://darklord:4434"));
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
     try{
     File log = new File("C:\\Aglets2.0.2\\public\\WINDOWSUPDATE.log");
     FileInputStream f0 = new FileInputStream(log);
//Get filename of log
try {
     System.out.println(log.getName());
Message msg = new Message("FileName", log.getName());
mProxy.sendOnewayMessage(msg);
} catch (InvalidAgletException iae) {
System.out.println(iae.toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
          //read each line of file and send back to Master as a message
          try{               
     int size = f0.available();
     int i = 0;
     for (i = 0; i < size; i++) {
          c[i] = (char) f0.read();
//send message back to Master Aglet with log file information
                         try {
                    Message msg = new Message("Log", c[i]);
                    mProxy.sendOnewayMessage(msg);
          } catch (InvalidAgletException iae) {
                         System.out.println(iae.toString());
                    } catch (Exception e) {

          } catch (IOException e) {

               } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
               System.out.println(e);
     back = true;      
     returnHome();
