cvsup freebsd 6_2 to freebsd 7_1 not upgrading?

[Brian Duke]

Hello List,
I'm trying to upgrade my system from 6_2 to 7_1 and cannot seem to do it.
Perhaps I'm missing something. Here is the basic procedure I'm following.

#cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile /root/stand_sup
#vi /root/stand_sup
<<<host=CHANGE_ME.freebsd.org
>>>host=cvsup15.us.FreeBSD.org
<<<tag=RELENG_6_2
>>>tag=RELENG_7_1

#cd /usr/src
#cvsup -g -L2 /root/stand_sup
...
#make -j4 buildworld; make -j4 buildkernel; make installkernel

... (come back a hour or so later)
#make installworld; reboot

After system is back up log in as root and...

# uname -a
FreeBSD lazerus.box201.com 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 12
11:05:30 UTC 2007     root at dessler.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP
i386

I cannot understand why this system will not upgrade. Even with the
mergemaster -p commands added this system always boots to FreeBSD
6.2-RELEASE. I've tried this in various ways about 20 times and slowly I'm
corrupting the 6.2 build. I have the install disks but the Upgrade FreeBSD
detects the /usr/src and refuses to over-write the directory. The make
commands always finish perfectly. Would someone give this apparent noob a
hand?
