tar's listed incremental mode is seriously broken; at least it was when I tried to use it - espeicially when combined with the --one-file-system option. Basicly it may omit whole directories, and different ones depending if you use relative or absolute path names. I've been told at that time that one must not use --one-file-system and --listed-incremental in one call, which makes this unusable for any bigger systems with mounted partitions.
