How often should I see "Refreshing due to a 401" and "Refreshing access_token"

I have a Google App Engine task in task queue performing the following four steps on a file recently uploaded by my app to a Google Drive Account and new files created by resizing the original. 

1- file = service.files().get(fileId=googleDriveFileId).execute()

2- resizedImage = resizeImage(theImage,currentWidth,currentHeight,135,90);
   newImage = putGoogleDriveFile(user,resizedImage,imageName,'image/jpeg',None,"image")

3- service.permissions().insert(fileId=file_id, body=new_permission).execute()

4- service.files().delete(fileId=googleDriveFileId).execute()

All the steps work, all the files are where they are supposed to be with correct permissions, etc.

However, my log files shows the access_token being refreshed for each step.

Is this what I should be expecting? It seems to me that one access_token for four actions running in one loop should suffice.

Thanks, Chris

A typical access_token lasts for one hour. My guess is each request is still using the expired token instead of the shiny new one.
