The filesystems _are_ actually mounted, yes?
Not merely mentioned in the fstab?
What does "df -lk " say?

That generates a tar file with paths starting "/mnt/hda1/blah... ".
If hda1 is supposed to be being copied onto / on the target system you

cd /mnt/hda1
tar cf - . | ssh root@(protected) 'cd / || exit 1; tar xf - '
Does that do what you intend?
