Ok I found a solution! (I swear this is my last quiote of myself in
this thread hehe).

I did these steps:

1) entered on i686,x86_64 dirs under extra and and delete *-any.pkg.tar.gz
2) edited the mirrorsync script and deleted safe-links option
3) run the script again

And everything worked again.

In my local mirror I wasn't syncing testing, iso and other dirs, so I
went to the second case of the script, .. the first case (which syncs
everything) works fine, is respecting the symlinks, the second case
should now be update on wiki page, can I do this? or I have to fill a
bug report, can somebody confirm this?.

Thanks anyway and sorry for this issue
