Okay.  I'm hoping that someone can give me some kind of helpful
suggestions here.  I'm having trouble figuring out the best way to
manage backups for some automounted user directories.

In short, I need to back up a set of NFS-shared filesystems that
represent users' home directories on my system.  If I use an automount
approach (example configs attached), then even if I can get them all
mounted, the bacula-fd will see them as separate filesystems, and I will
need to specify "_onefs_=no", to allow the backup job to traverse to other
filesystems.

The trouble with "_onefs_=no" is that the users could easily have symlinks
to other filesystems, that I don't want to back up.  I'm assuming that
if I specify "_onefs_=no" it will traverse symlinks to other filesystems.

One alternate approach I've been testing is to use some dynamic
definition of the filesystem list (eg a 'File = "|somescript"', or 'File
= "<somefilename"'), but so far, only the Full jobs seem to be picking
up the changes, not the incrementals.

So, any thoughts about approaches here?  Is there another way I can
allow traversal of filesystems, but only within a specific path prefix?

I admit it, I'm testing on a Debian VM, using Debian's outdated bacula
packages (5.2.6+dfsg-9.3).  If there's a known fix, I can certainly
build an updated version, though.
