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 -pdmuv /mnt/mirror
the egrep just takes out everything in /mnt/mirror ( so you don't backup your backup)
and /proc
