Yes, a program dedicated to backuppc syncing could cheat by knowing that all
files have a link in pool/cpool. You still have to make a table of those,
mapping the names to inode numbers, but then you could traverse the pc
directories separately, perhaps just sending the relative filename and an index
into the table so the other end could find the pool name.
