Unfortunately, I don't think Apple's driver supports more than 1 HFS partition
on a single drive (the HD backup to tape certainly does not).  Certainly, this
COULD be done, but it requires that the driver be aware of which volume a
file request is for, rather than just which (SCSI) device.  Maybe next time.
