Yes, I don't think there is any way to back them up. They are not like 
symlinks in, for example, a Linux ext2 filesystem. It is a portion of 
the same filesystem mounted at another mountpoint. In Linux, this is 
called a "bind mount". Which leads me to wonder what happens when 
backing up a Linux client that has bind mounts? Does Bacula know it is a 
bind mount? And if so, how does it handle it? Is the bind mount 
"remembered" or do the files get backed up twice? Are junction points 
handled by the Windows client in the same way bind mounts are handled by 
the Linux client?
