Wrong uptodate

[Carsten.Wendland at sigeurope.com]

Dear list,

I am syncing files with rsync .... surprise surprise ...


Rsync claims files to be uptudate, but they are not ...

>From the log:
export/opt/bup/status/1 is uptodate
export/opt/bup/status/2 is uptodate
.
.


Source directory (locally on server):
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   28 2008-03-01 22:44 1
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   28 2008-03-01 22:37 2
.
.

Destination directory (nfs share):
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   28 2008-02-29 22:45 1
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   28 2008-02-29 22:42 2
.
.


This files are textfiles containing a date (date >> 1)
I did try to get around this with the --checksum option but no success.
I discovered this because the files are used for nagios checks.
Its just a rsync to a mounted nfs share, so no rsync server.


Running the script by cron from cron.daily this "phenomenon" happens.
Running the script in the shell by root seams to work ervery time.

Have somebody senn this?
I hope somebody has a hint how to solve this.


Regards
Carsten

Here is the interesting part of the script:

# options to pass to rsync
OPTIONS1="--force --ignore-errors --delete --delete-excluded --checksum 
-aRvv"
OPTIONS2="--force --ignore-errors --delete --delete-excluded --checksum 
-aRvv"

export PATH=$PATH:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

# our actual rsyncing function
a_rsync()
{
for BACKUPDIR in $BUPDIR1; do
   rsync $OPTIONS1 $BACKUPDIR $ARCHIVE1/$CURRENT1 >> 
/var/log/cronscripts/2serverbup.log 2>&1
done
}

b_rsync()
{
for BACKUPDIR in $BUPDIR2; do
   rsync $OPTIONS2 $BACKUPDIR $ARCHIVE2/$CURRENT2 >> 
/var/log/cronscripts/2serverbup.log 2>&1
done
}

a_rsync && b_rsync && date > /tmp/backup
