Lightbulb Nested If statement within Do / Done

Hi all!
I'm really hoping you can help me out here; now i have searched and searched and have at least worked out that you can't have a nested if statement with a 'done' in it (as i have) as you're killing the parent before the child.

So here's what i have, and here's hoping someone can help me think of a work around! FYI, i'm using bash on a custom linux build, fairly standard based around red hat i believe(?)

The script is to find all attached USB devices, and copy a folders contents to it. The issue is within the variable check at the start, and the two unmounting after replication parts.

Theres a few other parts later on which i haven't posted which have a similar issue- so any ideas would be great! Smilie

Code:
# Assigning Drive variables and locating available disks.
alldrives=$(df -h | grep sda | awk '{print$1}' | cut -c1-8)
d1=$(echo $alldrives | awk '{print$1}')
d2=$(echo $alldrives | awk '{print$2}')
d3=$(echo $alldrives | awk '{print$3}')
d4=$(echo $alldrives | awk '{print$4}')
d5=$(echo $alldrives | awk '{print$5}')
d6=$(echo $alldrives | awk '{print$6}')
d7=$(echo $alldrives | awk '{print$7}')
d8=$(echo $alldrives | awk '{print$8}')
d9=$(echo $alldrives | awk '{print$9}')
d10=$(echo $alldrives | awk '{print$10}')
 
for i in $d1 $d2 $d3 $d4 $d5 $d6 $d7 $d8 $d9 $d10
do
 
if [[ -z $i ]]
then
echo "Variable blank, moving to next"
done
fi
 
#CHECK FOR MOUNTABLE DRIVE, MAKE DIR FOR IT
mkdir /mnt/clone/
if mount "$i""1" /mnt/clone/"$i""1"
then
 
 
# START REPLICATION
echo "BEGINNING RSYNC REPLICATION"
rsync -rtv --progress --modify-window=1 --exclude=LOCAL.CFG /usr/local/FOLDER1 /mnt/clone/"$i""1"/usr/local/FOLDER1
echo
 
 
# UNMOUNT AFTER REPLICATION
if umount /mnt/clone/"$i""1"
then
echo "Unmounted Successfully. Copying Complete."
 
done
else
 
 
# FORCE IF UNABLE TO UNMOUNT
echo "Forcing unmount..."
sync
sleep 15
cd /
umount -f /mnt/clone/"$i""1"
done
fi
 
fi
