  From the man page (of 2.4.2), it doesn't look like you can specify regular 
expressions for the diskdevice. Thus, linux, pics and mydocs are okay, but 
the others are failing (if I'm mistaken about this for 2.4.3, please correct 
me). You are correct, however, in using tar. You should just need to split 
those regular expressions into real directories that exist in /data/apps/.
