It wont show in Awstats because the header info hasn't been sent, before your code to place the header (redirect)
If I'm wrong please correct me...
What I would do is send all qr traffic to example.com/qr.php but pass a numerical value with each. For example a poster advert would go to example.com/qr.php?source=1
magazine example.com/qr.php?source=2
then within that php file get the post data...
$source = $_GET['source']
save the source to a database then do the redirect
in terms of data what I would do is have a database with a table called for example "inbound"
id : sourcenumber: total
select * from inbound where sourcenumber = '$source' ;
get the current value for total and add 1
update inbound set total = 'newtotal' where sourcenumber = '$source'
Hope this gives you some ideas.
Mack.

welcome to WebmasterWorld, oab2!
you might want to look through the AWStats Documentation - Configuration directives and parameters:
http://awstats.sourceforge.net/docs/awstats_config.html [awstats.sourceforge.net]
specifically you might be interested in this section:
http://awstats.sourceforge.net/docs/awstats_config.html#ValidHTTPCodes
# By default, AWStats considers that records found in log file are successful
# hits if HTTP code returned by server is a valid HTTP code (200 and 304).
# Any other code are reported in HTTP error chart.
# However in some specific environment, with web server HTTP redirection,
# you can choose to also accept other codes. |

I'd just use the simplest solution and add hashtags onto the urls you're encoding in the qr codes, eg example.com#brochure and you can see and easily interpret the sources.

the "hashtags" are actually document fragment identifiers.
as such the fragment identifier is not sent with the requested url to the server.
a fragment identifier appended to the current url would send no request to the server and would be handled entirely by the browser.
