rdiff-backup --exclude-other-file-systems will not include the (empty) mountpoint directories. Having the mountpoints in the backup is useful (a restored linux root file system without /proc, /dev, /home etc. will give you some trouble) and also the normal behaviour of rsync --one-file-system. This simple patch makes rdiff-backup --exclude-other-file-systems include the mountpoints in the backup.
This discussion on the list brought up the issue: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.rdiff-backup.general/6442 The patch is against selection.py - on Debian, Ubuntu this is /usr/share/pyshared/rdiff_backup/selection.py .
