I just hate replying to my own messages, but I caught a bug (although too late for
inclusion in the original email) and decided I'd better fix it. The following commands
should work better:

     cd /
     find . -xdev -depth -print | cpio -pdm /mnt

I guess I need to do a better job of controlling my enthusiasm. :-)
