Given you are able to specify the mount-point, it should be easy; the
code in fileassoc_add_pending() already compares the mounted file-system
with the files in the queue. Supporting the feature you're proposing
will require keeping a "mount-point" entry/hint with each fileassoc
entry -- pending or not -- and just doing the right thing with it.

...is there a reason to group the two features together? :)
