Actually, line 163 is the echo command. Still, nothing odd in any case. One thing I do to try to see more of what's going on is to change the second tar command to include a -v switch so that it tells me which files are being dropped onto the file system: - tar -clpSf - . | (cd /mnt ; tar -xpSf - ) + tar -clpSf - . | (cd /mnt ; tar -vxpSf - )
Additionally, you could add a set -x command to the script so that it prints out each command as it gets executed.
