[Borgbackup] Are mounted filesystems skipped?

Strange. Guess the easiest explanation could be some typo in the pathes
(also be careful with uppercase/lowercase).

> Is there a special way to backup files in mounted filesystems?

borg does not care about filesystem boundaries and cross mountpoints
EXCEPT if you use the --on-file-system option.

you could remove the --filter AME so it displays all the files / their
status until you have found the problem.

borg can check unchanged files very fast (and even faster if you run
multiple tries one directly after the others).
