rsync - Jun 2009 - --compare-dest= dir list ?

Hi,

I would like to compare a backup dir with a directory list in 
--compare-dest=  but I don't know how to specify this list. If a have 
only one dir it's ok, but if I have 2 or more dir I have an error ?

Here is my script:

#!/bin/bash

SSH_USERSSH_HOSTTOBCK=/
EXCLUDES=/root/bckscript/ns200176/excludes
LOG=/root/bckscript/ns200176/rsync_$(date +'%Y-%m-%d_%H.%M.S').log

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/bckhd01

BACKUPDIR=/mnt/bckhd01/ns200176/$(date +'%A')
COMPAREDIR=""
LIST=$(ls /mnt/bckhd01/ns200176/)
for i in $LIST; do
        COMPAREDIR="$COMPAREDIR/mnt/bckhd01/ns200176.ovh.net/$i "
done

OPTS="--verbose --progress --archive --hard-links --ignore-errors 
--delete-excluded --exclude-from=$EXCLUDES --delete --force 
--backup-dir=$BACKUPDIR --compare-dest=\"$COMPAREDIR\"
--log-file=$LOG"

echo Cleaning previous backup...
[ -d $HOME/emptydir ] || mkdir $HOME/emptydir
rsync --verbose --delete -a $HOME/emptydir/ $BACKUPDIR/
rmdir $HOME/emptydir


echo Backup start

rsync $OPTS $SSH_USER@$SSH_HOST:$TOBCK $BACKUPDIR


echo $COMPAREDIR

echo Backup ended


Thanks!

Try adding --compare-dest= for each directory...
Now you're passing one directory with spaces in its path (which can't be
found). Even with just one item in $LIST you're telling rsync to look
for a directory with a space at the end of its path, which probably
doesn't exist.
