rsync 2.5.4 problem crossing file systems

Howdy,

I just built this new version last week and am trying to rsync a running
systems boot drive to an alternate drive on a different system (not running
on the rsync drive target). The rsync seems to be crossing file system
boundaries in spite of the -x flag. Can anyone help me with this please?
I've also submitted a bug report.

I'm running the rsync from a script that, now that I look at it, might be
confusing rsync. I've enclosed the script below.

Regards,

George...

#!/bin/sh -xv

rsync()
{
 /usr/lsd/SunOS.5.7/bin/rsync -vvacrRlpogtxz --stats --progress $*
}

 cd /             ;rsync * 10.26.8.10:/r2.root
--exclude-from=/rsync-excludes
 cd /usr          ;rsync * 10.26.8.10:/r2.usr
--exclude-from=/rsync-excludes
 cd /opt          ;rsync * 10.26.8.10:/r2.opt
--exclude-from=/rsync-excludes
 cd /var          ;rsync * 10.26.8.10:/r2.var
--exclude-from=/rsync-excludes
 cd /apps         ;rsync * 10.26.8.10:/r2.apps
--exclude-from=/rsync-excludes
 cd /export/home  ;rsync * 10.26.8.10:/r2.home
--exclude-from=/rsync-excludes

 exit 0
