Guard against truncated status file
At 2020-01-09 01:00 PST, the desi_transfer_status.json file was truncated, causing the transfer daemon to crash when it subsequently tried to read the empty file.

Workaround for quick restart: Add `[]` (an array) to the empty file.

dtn04.nersc.gov was rebooted sometime after the file was truncated (approximately 02:30 PST), suggesting transient problems with the filesystem.
