Here's my script. Obviously, it picks up the os/ tree as well as the 
updates/ tree. So far, no problems with 5.x or 6.x:

#!/bin/sh
for VERS in "5.6" "6.0"; do
   SRC="ftp.osuosl.org::centos/${VERS}/"
   DEST="/srv/mirrors/centos/${VERS}/"
   echo "-----------------------------------------------------------"
   echo "Sync-ing CentOS $VERS with $SRC"
   echo
   /usr/bin/rsync -avSH \
     --exclude "isos" --exclude "centosplus" --exclude "extras" \
     $SRC $DEST
   echo "-----------------------------------------------------------"
done
