Did you "emerge sync" or "emerge -fUD world"?

There is no "bootscript.sh". Do you mean "bootstrap.sh"? Please be
accurate - you expect us to be precise, too, don't you?

Have a look at the script. It replaces make.conf and restores it
afterwards. But the SYNC/GENTOO_MIRRORS should be honored and those
variables are not cumulative so this shouldn't happen.

Please tell us more. Can you ping the rsync host? "bootstrap.sh" calls
emerge which in turn calls rsync or $FETCHCOMMAND. Try "emerge -pUD
world" and have a look at /var/log/emerge.log.
Try "\rsync -vvv rsync://192.168.1.50/gentoo-portage"
and
"\rsync -vvv rsync://192.168.1.50/gentoo-packages"
which increases verbosity.
Have a look at /var/log/everything/current at the rsync host and be
sure that metalog doesn't cache (it's described in the install.xml)
