(I just had this discussion in the "RAIT" thread) It's how sequential 
media works: you can write the same exact bytes to different locations 
on the tape. This percolates to all streaming formats ("tar -c * *") and 
related software, backup systems being the prime example. I was 
half-hoping bacula uses the absolute path + checksum as the primary key 
in its catalog (and so would not backup the same file twice), but no 
such luck.

I ended up doing
\\sh -c 'find ... -exec dirname \\{} \\; | sort | uniq'
because my filesets are not static -- but you need to make sure the 
selector doesn't return files in a subdir *and* its parent dir (in my 
case it shouldn't, fingers crossed ;-)
