Hmmm, interesting.


I'm not all that familiar with FreeBSD, but one thing to double-check is
to make sure that the filesystems are really showing up as being mounted
on separate devices.  From the FreeBSD "stat" man page, it looks like
you can confirm this using a command something like

  $ stat -f "%N %d" /storage /storage/<some-file-not-under-lists>
  $ stat -f "%N %d" /storage/lists /storage/lists/<some-filename>

Does that in fact show a different device number for the two 
different commands (but the same device number for the two files in each
command)?

Do you also back up / on this system, by any chance?  If so, that would
seem to show that --one-file-system works some of the time.  (I'm
assuming you would have already noticed if the / DLE included all of
/usr, /var and /storage...) 

(Or, if you back up /var, you could check to see if the files under
/var/tmp/ are included in the index files for the /var DLE....)
