[Yum] Re: yum mirroring

Replying to an old thread which is slightly OT too, but I hope you can
bare with me, as I have an annoying problem.

My problem is with rsync, which I use in above manner. It keeps
transferring files that I already have. Wasting a lot of bandwidth.
Taken from rsync log:

--<snip>--
i386/XFree86-Mach64-3.3.6-29.i386.rpm is uptodate
i386/XFree86-Mono-3.3.6-29.i386.rpm is uptodate
i386/XFree86-75dpi-fonts-3.3.6-29.i386.rpm
i386/XFree86-8514-3.3.6-29.i386.rpm
i386/XFree86-S3V-3.3.6-29.i386.rpm is uptodate
i386/XFree86-AGX-3.3.6-29.i386.rpm
i386/XFree86-FBDev-3.3.6-29.i386.rpm
i386/XFree86-Mach8-3.3.6-29.i386.rpm
i386/XFree86-VGA16-3.3.6-29.i386.rpm is uptodate
--</snip>--

How come i386/XFree86-AGX-3.3.6-29.i386.rpm is not uptodate? This seems
to happen always with the same files.

If I run the cronjob manually the behaviour does not occur. 

Maybe someone here can figure out what is wrong in my scripts and
explain me what is happening?

My /etc/cron.daily/mirroring script:
--<snip>--
#!/bin/bash
MIRRORDIR=/scratch/yum/scripts
rm -f $MIRRORDIR/updates.log
echo "Beginning mirrorin at `date`. " > $MIRRORDIR/updates.log 2>&1
$MIRRORDIR/get-updrh62.sh >> $MIRRORDIR/updates.log 2>&1
$MIRRORDIR/get-updrh72.sh >> $MIRRORDIR/updates.log 2>&1
$MIRRORDIR/get-updrh73.sh >> $MIRRORDIR/updates.log 2>&1
touch /scratch/yum/updates-fetched.txt
--</snip>--


And for example the get-updrh73.sh looks like this:

--<snip>--
#!/bin/bash
MIRRORDIR=/scratch/mirror
VERBOSE=1
MIRROR=ftp.funet.fi
REMOTE="$MIRROR::ftp/pub/mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.3/en/os/"
LOCAL="$MIRRORDIR/redhat/linux/updates/7.3/en/os/"
if [ ! -z $VERBOSE ]; then
        VRB="-vv --stats"
fi
echo "Fetching RH73 updates."
su - ayo -c "rsync $VRB -a --partial --exclude "SRPMS" --delete \
$REMOTE $LOCAL"
echo " "
--</snip>--
