Shell script executing both the conditions.

I have written this script. This is used for creating a backup folder.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
#set -x
. /home/.profile
usage="Usage is $0"
usage="$usage [-b <dir>]"
# Use the getopt utility to set up the command line flags.
set -- `/usr/bin/getopt b: $*`
# Process individual command line arguments
while [ $1 != -- ]; do
  case $1 in
    -b)  dir=$2
         shift
         ;;
    esac
  shift
done
MYSQLBACKUP=`which mysqlbackup`
if [ "$backup_dir" == "" ];then
datedir=`date +"%Y%m%d"`
backupdir=/home/back
$MYSQLBACKUP --defaults-file=$INSTANCE_HOME/my.cnf --backup-dir=$backupdir/$datedir --compress backup
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
   start_lsn=`grep -E 'start_lsn' variables.txt`
   end_lsn=`grep -E 'end_lsn' variables.txt`
         exit 1
else
   echo " [`date +%Y\-%m\-%d\ %H\:%M\:%S`] [ERROR] Backup Failed. Please check"
   echo "backup failed." |mailx -s "full backup failed." abc.com 
fi
fi

The problem is that even when the command is executing without any error it is pring the commands in the success block (when if is true) but it is also printing the commands in the unsuccessfull block (else condition) too.
any suggestions?Smilie

svn-fast-backup(1)					      General Commands Manual						svn-fast-backup(1)

NAME
svn-fast-backup - very fast backup for Subversion fsfs repositories. SYNOPSIS
svn-fast-backup [-q] [-k{N|all}] [-f] [-t] [-s] repos_path backup_dir DESCRIPTION
svn-fast-backup uses rsync snapshots for very fast backup of a Subversion fsfs repository at repos_path to backup_dir/repos-rev, the latest revision number in the repository. Multiple fsfs backups share data via hardlinks, so old backups are almost free, since a newer revision of a repository is almost a complete superset of an older revision. This is good for replacing incremental log-dump+restore-style backups because it is just as space-conserving and even faster; there is no inter-backup state (old backups are essentially caches); each backup directory is self-contained. It has the same command-line interface as svn-hot-backup(1) (if you use --force), but only works for fsfs repositories. svn-fast-backup keeps 64 backups by default and deletes backups older than these; this can be adjusted with the -k option. OPTIONS
-h, --help Shows some brief help text. -q, --quiet Quieter-than-usual operation. -k, --keep=N Keep a specified number of backups; the default is to keep 64. -k, --keep=all Do not delete any old backups at all. -f, --force Make a new backup even if one with the current revision exists. -t, --trace Show actions. -s, --simulate Don't perform actions.
