That's the problem; if we just say ALL, then Networker assumes you mean
everything in fstab, including all NFS mounts.
We could manually put every directory into the client, but we've seen
issues where the /proc directory won't back up for some reason. And, of
course, there's always the risk of missing a directory. I'm just
wondering if there's a directive or something along those lines that we
could use.

It won't backup NFS mounts unless you explicitly tell it to.
