With the usr merge, and I'm reading its not just debian but RH too, /bin 
becomes a link to usr/bin, and likewise /sbin becomes a link to 
usr/sbin. And /bib becomes a link to /usr/lib...

But thats going to trigger on /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, preventing the 
backup of both subdirs.  Thats not good.  How do I fix that? Do I name 
the full path in 3 more dle's? I'll try that. But that will also screw 
up a bare metal recovery. So we need to come up with a better method.  
We need to backup the link, but without following it. ???? Ideas ????  I 
need another gallon of coffee... Or more sleep.

Thanks all
