Bacula implements onefs by looking for changes in the stat.st_dev (Device)
field and implements fstype by calling statfs.  Unfortunately, both of these
return the values associated with the target directory for bind mounts, so the
mount point looks like a normal directory to Bacula.

You can see that by comparing the output printed by for / and /backup:

stat / /backup
stat -f / /backup

I don't know if that counts as a bug or not.
