I don't think you can specify directories like that in .xfiletool.lst...just individual files. It seems like tar is very particular about what files and directories take preference when using the --exclude and -T options together, but i've never quite figured out what the order is.
One thing I'm pretty sure of is that a path ending with a slash means the contents of the directory, and not the just directory itself. Since there's no way to create a simple filetool without backing up directories recursively, Tar will most likely grab the /home/dsl/mnt directory along with its contents, since you did not specify the directory itself (without the ending slash) in the .xfiletool.lst list . This is just speculation, though.
A more direct route to success would be to mount volumes in the place recommended by the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard...in the "/mnt" directory.
