No, because I want the whole of the / partition backed up (seperately to 
the home, boot, dos and "volatile" partitions).  rsync has been 
supplied with --one-file-system.

I just realised of course that I was mistaken about the "/" directory 
already appearing in the pool causing the test to be erronously triggered 
(I forgot that "/" would be munged to "f%2f" that wouldn't collide with 
anything already there), so I don't actually know why it is failing.

The /pcbackups/pc/dirac/new directory (so far, halfway through the backup) 
contains:
-rw-r-----  1 backuppc backuppc   45 May  4 21:15 attrib
drwxr-x---  4 backuppc backuppc 4096 May  4 21:15 f%2fboot
drwxr-x--- 12 backuppc backuppc 4096 May  4 21:41 f%2fdos
drwxr-x---  5 backuppc backuppc 4096 May  4 21:14 f%2fhome
whereas, if "/" was listed first, you also end up with f%2f, like I did in 
the previous successful backup:
-rw-r-----  2 backuppc backuppc  112 Apr 30 20:14 attrib
-rw-r-----  1 backuppc backuppc  609 Apr 30 20:24 backupInfo
drwxr-x--- 33 backuppc backuppc 4096 Apr 30 03:47 f%2f
drwxr-x---  4 backuppc backuppc 4096 Apr 30 19:23 f%2fboot
drwxr-x--- 12 backuppc backuppc 4096 Apr 30 19:56 f%2fdos
drwxr-x---  5 backuppc backuppc 4096 Apr 30 19:22 f%2fhome
drwxr-x--- 11 backuppc backuppc 4096 Apr 30 20:14 
f%2fvolatile%2fvar%2fcache%2fapt-cacher-ng


The logfile shows this:
2009-05-03 19:03:00 full backup started for directory /home (baseline backup 
#89)
2009-05-04 21:14:47 unexpected repeated share name / skipped
2009-05-04 21:14:47 full backup started for directory /boot (baseline backup 
#89)
2009-05-04 21:15:10 full backup started for directory /dos (baseline backup #89)
