Trouble with Nested Ifs

What I thought was going to be very simple has turned out to be really lame, and so I come to you for help.

Code:

mountedon=`df -k /synctest | awk 'NR == 2 {print $1}'`
if [ $mountedon -ne "ids4:/nex02/synctest" ]
then
   # mount /pupcl06
   mountedon=`df -k /synctest | awk 'NR == 2 {print $1}'`
   if [ $mountedon -ne "ids4:/nex02/synctest" ]
   then
      mailx -s "nightly sync FAILED - check drive mountings" name@email.com name2@email.com << EOH
         drive 'synctest' is not mounted properly.
      EOH
      echo mounting error
      break
   else
      echo successfully mounted
      # wmsynctest
   fi
else
   echo was previously mounted
   # wmsynctest
fi
echo yerp

Note: lines are commented out because I don't want this to actually do anything yet.

Basically, I'm trying to check to see if a drive is mounted properly. If it is, execute another script. If not, try to mount it. If that fails, kill the process. If it succeeds, execute another script.

When I run this program, I get an unexpected end of file error. I'm assuming it's related to the nested ifs because of similar errors I read about online.

So if you know how to get around this problem with the ifs, please let me know. Thank you.

DESCRIPTION

       Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).

       AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like

       in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.

OPTIONS

       See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.

EXAMPLES

       cat << EOF > test.awk
       @include getopt.awk

       BEGIN {
	    while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
		 ...
       }
       EOF
