There also seems to be a serious issue with recursively following symbolic links:

$ mkdir testdir
$ cd testdir && ln -sf / root

create a backup set using only testdir, and attemp to backup.

Observe strace output:
stat64("/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjohnson/testdir/root/home/bjo!

The result is the gui hangs and eats cpu while it tries to resolve this link.
