If you use ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES, make sure that you don't have the cross mount points checked. It even tells you that in the manuals that no one reads.
If you are going to create your own file list, then you have to decide whether or not to cross mount points or not. If this is the case, you are also responsible for ensuring that you are backing up the data that you need to back up.
Remember, it is not a software "glitch" when the software does exactly what you tell it to do.

gturner, you do realize that the reason your backup times decreased, was because you are no longer backup up all of the mount points on your unix system? Probably making the backup worthless, depending on how the system is setup.

Mark, have you unchecked "Cross Mount Points"
I went through a similar situation with one of our Solaris servers. After unchecking that box, my backup times reduced by atleast 50%.
