There is no breezy on that server so your command line does not work
at all. You are also missing --ignore entries for your symlinks so I
expect them to get deleted on every run (but just the symlinks).

That file is irelevant. The new file in
.temp/fsl/dists/etch/non-free/source/Sources determines what gets
mirrored. Only after a successfull mirror run does this get
linked/copied into place so that the mirror remains consistent while
mirroring.
And that file only contains
Directory: dists/etch/main/source/science
not
Directory: dists/testing/main/source/science

If testing is a link then find will not follow it and thus not delete
anything below it.

Running a corrected commandline works just fine here. Please run
debmirror with -v -p and send a logfile.
