actually, looking into things more, my broken example is adding the 
files but not directories nor their contents in /mnt/dvdtemp which is a 
different filesystem (not everything in /mnt is a mount point, for 
example /mnt/gentoo32, plus i want the structure of /mnt archived). in 
addition to archiving contents of /mnt/dvdtemp instead of just that 
directory it is also archiving everything else *twice*.
