Ah! Thanks Karnbir. I will make the necessary changes to my script. Also now it explains why all those symlinks existed.

Stephen, Actually I didn't have to do any of that...it was matter of simply changing the rsync root. Here is my script:
#!/bin/sh EXCLUSION="/etc/rsync-exclude.list" RSYNC_HOST="rsync.planetmirror.com http://rsync.planetmirror.com" RSYNC_ROOT="centos/4.2/" DESTINATION="/home/ftp/pub/Linux/CentOS/4.2/" /usr/bin/rsync -aqzH --exclude-from=$EXCLUSION --delete $RSYNC_HOST::$RSYNC_ROOT $DESTINATION /bin/chown -R vijay.avarachen:spduslisadmins $DESTINATION
The point that Stephen was trying to make is : with your rsync_root set to centos/4.2/ - when the next update is released, you will end up with a blank mirror.
by setting it to centos/4/ you stay with the most recently released pkgs.
