Thanks Daniel,
the parallel option was it... I removed that and it started working just
fine... (and the recls was not necessary - I threw it in because I needed
it to see the update interactively...)
as for the syntax, I couldn't get it to work as you described, although it
does look cleaner... I get the following error:
Unknown command `set ftp:list-options -a; quote cwd NONVOL:; recls; mirror
-a -v . /root/test/tmp'.
Original syntax works, so I am running at least now...
THANKS ALL!!

I can't really try it, not having such a weird server, but here are some
observations:
- Your issue is most likely caused by using the --parallel switch with
mirror. That means lftp has to open 10 connections to the server
simultaneously. None of the subsequent reconnections will have
your "quote CWD" applied. There may be some way to get lftp to execute a
given command automatically on reconnections but I only found "ftp:acct"
on a quick search and that's not quite what you'd need… Personally, I'd
just drop the parallel switch. You may also want to turn automatic
retries off in case of network/connection errors since any automatic
reconnection will also have you ending up on the wrong drive.
- I would recommend spelling CWD all uppercase (in quote CWD). LFTP
really does quote whatever you write after "quote" as-is.
- I don't think there's any need for "recls" (or "cache flush") in your
command above.
- Your command looks unnecessarily convoluted.
Instead of:
lftp -c "open -e \"commands to execute go here\" -u admin,passwd
SERVERNAME"
You could simply use:
lftp -c "commands to execute go here" -u admin,passwd SERVERNAME
- If things still don't work as they should, set the debug level to 5 or
more ("debug 5")
