Sorry, no can do....unix is percuilar that way, you'll just get a lot of
errors and no files backed up because it won't cross mount points using that
setting.

        ... why not just make ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES be the entire content
of the file list?

        This way the file list flexes as needed (i.e. automagically copes
with added / removed drives etc) and gives a "zero admin" solution.

You will have to pay attention to the # of data streams that arise
(by default, you'll get a job per filesystem) but this also is a
one-time
setting.

Cheers,

Richard.
