Backuppc calls everything 'shares' even if they are the starting point 
for a tar or rsync run instead of an smb name.

Other than the typo I think that is right.  I normally add 
--one-file-system to the tar and rsync arg list so I don't have to deal 
with mounted devices.  But then you do have to remember to add shares 
for the mount points you want.
