I get the sense that cpio is a more straightforwared way to do a copy,

This is my tar version: tar-1.13.25-4, which I assume is GNU.
As for my problem of tar seeing only one partition, someone pointed
out that my tar command:

Haines,
If Ray hasn't sorted you out by now you could try cpio to copy the files.
If i have it right you are just trying to copy everything to /mnt/mirror
In which case you could just do:
find / -print | egrep -v "^/mnt/mirror|^/proc" | cpio

mirror disk.
But a puzzler. The script sees all directories mounted on / and backs
up their content, but fails to back up the contents of directories
that are presumably mounted under /, but are not in the same partition
as /.
