No it's not. The problem occurs when a directory gets replaced by an
non-directory file with the same name. Eg symbolic linkage of a moved
directory.
But I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to have a
don't-follow-NFS-mounts option. (Ended up backing up the same 5Gb
volume four times before I realised, oops.)
