I see your problem, I think. You don't have your ESP mounted, so grub
can't write the EFI files to it. You are likely trying to use grub with
grub-install /dev/sda. That won't work for EFI. Try this (as root):
mkdir /boot/efi
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /boot/efi
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
you MAY need to add --removable to the grub-install line. Some EFI
setups prefer that.

Yea, see, no directories except . and .., which is no good at all for
EFI. Try what I said above, and see if that doesn't help.
