From the man page (of 2.4.2), it doesn't look like you can specify regular
expressions for the diskdevice. Thus, linux, pics and mydocs are okay, but
the others are failing (if I'm mistaken about this for 2.4.3, please correct
me). You are correct, however, in using tar. You should just need to split
those regular expressions into real directories that exist in /data/apps/.
