zxfer does not handle writing its metadata to unmounted file systems #19

Such as:

Writing backup info to location none/.zxfer_backup_info.tank
sh: cannot create none/.zxfer_backup_info.tank: No such file or directory
Error writing backup file. Is filesystem mounted?

Perhaps it could temporarily mount the filesystem path that it needs and the unmount after writing out the metadata.

I have the same problem.
