How did you do this?

I've tried pre-hardlinking my Red Hat mirror to the fedora legacy tree
(following http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraMirrorHOWTO), but every
time I start rsync, it un-hardlinks the files and redownloads them.  I
moved the linked files to the single i386 and SRPMS directories for
legacy, and the dates, times, and file sizes match.  The contents are
also identical.  For example, these are commands I am using for 7.2
updates:

rm -rf \
        /home/ftp/pub/mirrors/fedora-legacy/redhat/7.2/updates/*

cp -al \
        /home/ftp/pub/mirrors/redhat/linux/updates/7.2/en/os/i[3456]86 \
        /home/ftp/pub/mirrors/redhat/linux/updates/7.2/en/os/athlon \
        /home/ftp/pub/mirrors/redhat/linux/updates/7.2/en/os/noarch \
        /home/ftp/pub/mirrors/redhat/linux/updates/7.2/en/os/SRPMS \
        /home/ftp/pub/mirrors/fedora-legacy/redhat/7.2/updates

mv \
        /home/ftp/pub/mirrors/fedora-legacy/redhat/7.2/updates/i[456]86/* \
	/home/ftp/pub/mirrors/fedora-legacy/redhat/7.2/updates/athlon/* \
        /home/ftp/pub/mirrors/fedora-legacy/redhat/7.2/updates/noarch/* \
        /home/ftp/pub/mirrors/fedora-legacy/redhat/7.2/updates/i386

rm -rf \
        /home/ftp/pub/mirrors/fedora-legacy/redhat/7.2/updates/i[456]86 \
        /home/ftp/pub/mirrors/fedora-legacy/redhat/7.2/updates/athlon \
        /home/ftp/pub/mirrors/fedora-legacy/redhat/7.2/updates/noarch

rsync -auv \
        rsync://download.fedoralegacy.org/legacy/redhat/7.2/updates \
        /home/ftp/pub/mirrors/fedora-legacy/redhat/7.2


Does anyone know how to make rsync not undo the hardlinking?

Thanks.
