 The problem is, if I select "Restore Directories Without Crossing
 Mount Points" and run the restore, nothing is restored.  This is
 using the jnbSA utility.  In the directory listing, I click on the
 circle next to / which appears to select everything, when I click
 on "Files marked for restore", it only shows /.  The source of the
 restore is 'backups' and the date range includes at least one full
 backup and several cumulative incremental backups.  Then when I 
 select 'restore', I select the second option to restore everything
 to a different location with source / and destination /mnt/.
 I then select the "Restore Directories Without Crossing Mount Points"
 and uncheck the "rename soft links" option, and submit it.

 If I don't select the mount points option and actually mount the
 other partions under /mnt/... in advance, then run the restore 
 everything works as expected?
