This is incorrect. Pacman will not update GRUB on the ESP, which is what's
being used.

Hi,

what device prefix do you add to what option?

Maybe you use the device path

  -efi-directory=/dev/foo

while the mount point is required

  -efi-directory=/mnt/point

e.g.

  --efi-directory=esp

PS: I migrated from syslinux to grub. Sometimes it can go that way ;).
