I don't think this will fix the problems.  I run 3.1.07, and still see NFS
mounted filesystems getting backed up as part of their parent, usually
root.  And, in my cases, the filesystems are not automounted, but rather,
are hard NFS mounts (in /etc/vfstab).  This is a real pain, as one cannot
"delete dir nodename /nfsmountpoint" on the server, and adding exclude.dir
or exclude.fs does not expire the files, meaning one has to allow the
files to expire "naturally" by first adding exclude /nfsmountpoint/.../*,
running a backup, and then changing that to exclude.dir or exclude.fs.

bummer...
