I have a dual boot system and I keep all my music on the Windows side
so that I can access it from either. So I want to back up the Windows
stuff too. As I understand it the .gvfs directory has to do with fuse
filesystems, ie Windows in my case. The Windows drive is mounted
on /mnt. If I use the --one-file-system option and add /mnt/c_drive to
my TarShareName, am I not going to have the same problem?

I guess I'll try it and see.

Thanks, 
Steve
