This is pretty much what I tried before, that wasn't working, but I was
using rsync 2.6.5.  It seems like the multiple filesystems have a bad
interaction with the --one-file-system option - for example:

ark-root /DCS) rsync --one-file-system --rsh=ssh / /var/ /var/run/ /tmp/ /export/home/ /spare/ /opt/ root at seki.nac.uci.edu:~strombrg/backups/ark.oas/root/
root at seki.nac.uci.edu's password: 
skipping directory /.
skipping directory /var/.
skipping directory /var/run/.
skipping directory /tmp/.
skipping directory /export/home/.
skipping directory /spare/.
skipping directory /opt/.
ark-root /DCS)

The ssh public keys thing is good for what I'm doing in some cases and
not others.  I'm trying to code up an application, and I'd prefer it if I
could keep the ssh authentication to a minimum - ideally, only occuring
once.

No, you're not missing the point entirely at all.  :)  I'm probably not
being clear enough.

Thanks!
