Ignoring /boot

[Ben Short]

Hi,

I have the following script that I'm writing to backup my gentoo linux
system.

----- start of script -----

#!/bin/sh
#
#

RSYNC_OPTS="--archive --one-file-system --perms --executability --progress
--stats --delete-after --hard-links --keep-dirlinks --verbose --inplace"
RSYNC_USER="bs"
RSYNC_SERVER="192.168.6.6"
RSYNC_MODULE="ben-desktop"
RSYNC_PATH="/"
RSYNC_EXCLUDES="--exclude=/usr/portage/distfiles --exclude=/tmp
--exclude=/var --exclude=/home --exclude=/root --exclude=/usr --exclude=/bin
--exclude=/opt --excl$

MOUNT_FOR_RSYNC="/boot"

mount ${MOUNT_FOR_RSYNC}

#ls -la /boot

rsync --dry-run ${RSYNC_OPTS} --rsync-path="sudo rsync" ${RSYNC_EXCLUDES} -e
ssh ${RSYNC_PATH} ${RSYNC_USER}@${RSYNC_SERVER}::${RSYNC_MODULE}

umount ${MOUNT_FOR_RSYNC}

----- end of script -----

When I run it I get the following output.

ben-desktop ben # ./backup
building file list ...

Total transferred file size: 0 bytes
Literal data: 0 bytes
Matched data: 0 bytes
File list size: 321
File list generation time: 0.002 seconds
File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds
Total bytes sent: 518
Total bytes received: 56

sent 518 bytes  received 56 bytes  1148.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00 (DRY RUN)


I would expect boot to have files in it? What is going wrong?

Regards

Ben
