A quick fix might be to add the --one-file-system option to the tar
command so it will ignore all mount points. I always do that anyway to
avoid picking up ad-hoc DVD/USB or network mounts that might happen to
be active, but then you have to be sure you explicitly add every
filesystem that you do want to back up.
