Recently came-across a situation - where a user/admin using Folder mounted 
disk volumes (rather than Drive letter mapped volumes). For example, the 
following folders have mounted disk-volume each about 30 GB:

D:\OT\LM1 
D:\OT\LM2 
D:\OT\LM3 
D:\OT\OP1
D:\OT\OP2
D:\OT\OP3

Obviously, these weren't getting backed-up along with D:\ drive (only 4 GB 
its own full-size is getting backed-up, but not the above mounted volumes).

A disk-volume mapped to a drive obviously getting backed-up, for example: 
P:\ Q:\ R:\ and S:\ etc all are getting backed-up correctly.

One thing I can think of doing is - enumerating/listing each of these 
folders in my SAVESET list to be backed-up, but haven't tried it yet. 
Unfortunate side affect is - if user/admin created another/new D:\OT\OP4 
mounted-volume, Networker is sure going to miss it, since its not listed 
in Savesets lists to be backed-up.

Thought I've seen an elegant solution, can't search/recall. If you guys 
have a better one please do share.
