Jean-Louis,
Thank you -
1) yes, file path is different, but it turns out that its a
result of links in the file system, I'd walked down the
correct path, though there was no way to see that based
on the prior message.
2) Update to gtar 1.22 seems to have been sufficient, didn't also
need to touch the switches, which are default and what I have
on other boxes.
Q: Do I want to remove the --no-check-device switch in the general case?
thanks,
Brian
