What about using LVM (assuming Linux, but substitute and alternate as appropriate) to snapshot the volume housing the data. You then run a pre-hook to create and mount the snapshot, point your fileset at the mounted snapshot and tear it down with a post-hook? That way, order isn't important as you get a stable snapshot of all the files at a point in time, which should preserve the recoverability of the WAL for you, no?
