Ah, this is/was probably it (although I remember the + not working...). The file consists solely of the following: #!/bin/sh -f exec /bin/tar -c $* I have a similar one called backuppc-tar-restore with -x in place of -c. I'm somewhat confused because I've since reinstalled the package, reconfigured it, and everything seems to work just fine. Before I didn't have the backuppc-tar-restore file (and configured to be used), so perhaps that was the problem.
