I have a very old version of amanda 2.4.4, backing up a
new version, 2.6.1 across Solaris client and Solaris server.

The client has ZFS partitions,
/export
/export/home

which are actually ZFS mount points.

Since the server is old I doubt I can use zfs-snapshots (I didn't
gets updating the amanda.conf, but the hooks are likely not present)
so I used user-tar.

I'm wondering, since we are using tar, if the --one-file-system switch
is respected or if its trying to backups /export/home when I specify
a DLE of /export.

Since that switch is under the new applications interface I suspect
that I should not backup both /export and /export/home.
