This script runs ok

But here is a script which doesn't work for me:
{
echo starting on `uname -a`
rm -rf source dest
mkdir -p source/dira
mkdir -p dest/dirb
ln -s dirb dest/dira
date >source/dira/file
date >dest/dira/file2
cd source
echo "Before"
ls -ld `find ../dest -print`
rsync -R dira/file ../dest/
echo "After"
ls -ld `find ../dest -print`
echo finished on `uname -a`
cd ..
}
And here is the output:

As you can see, I can no longer access dest/dira/file2.
I also tried stuff like rsync -R dira/file ../dest/dira/.././
with the same result.
