Environment is not overwritten at barebox update

Dear all,

I've compiled an image and try to get my environment scripts on my 
target but I can't get them.

Here a snippet of my DTS :

/ {
         model = "Main Board";

         compatible = "fsl,imx6dl";
     chosen {
             stdout-path = &uart3;
     };

     environment at 0 {
         compatible = "barebox,environment";
         device-path = &usdhc3, "partname:barebox-environment";
     };
};

&usdhc3 {
     partition at 0 {
         label = "barebox";
         reg = <0x0 0x80000>;
     };
     partition at 1 {
         label = "barebox-environment";
         reg = <0x80000 0x80000>;
     };

         ...

         # Many other partitions

         ...

};


Here a snippet of my .config :

CONFIG_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT=y
# CONFIG_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION_GZIP is not set
# CONFIG_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION_LZO is not set
# CONFIG_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION_LZ4 is not set
# CONFIG_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION_XZ is not set
CONFIG_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION_NONE=y
CONFIG_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT_GENERIC_NEW=y
CONFIG_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT_GENERIC_NEW_MENU=y
CONFIG_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT_GENERIC_NEW_DFU=y
CONFIG_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT_PATH="arch/arm/boards/al-mx6/env/"

And here the content of : "arch/arm/boards/al-mx6/env/"

ad at debian:~/workspace/barebox/chrysalis/arch/arm/boards/al-mx6/env$ tree
.
├── bin
│   └── init
├── boot
│   ├── al
│   ├── tftp
│   └── usb
├── config
└── data
     ├── ansi-colors


Now, on the target, I'm upgrading barebox using a simple : cp 
barebox.img /dev/mmc2


With the compiled date and hour from the Barebox logs at starting, I can 
see that the "new" barebox is really the one that I juste compiled.

But I don't have my env correctly updated :

barebox at Main Board:/env ls -l
drwxrwxrwx              0 .
d---------              0 ..
drwxrwxrwx              0 bin
-rwxrwxrwx             25 config
drwxrwxrwx              0 data
drwxrwxrwx              0 init
drwxrwxrwx              0 menu
drwxrwxrwx              0 network
drwxrwxrwx              0 nv


My config file is not the one that I compiled, and the boot/ directory 
has not been updated...
But the newly created files are always updated.
Only the already existing ones are not overwritten.
Not sure of that, but it seems to be different between several boards...


I am missing something?


Here the starting logs :
