Thanks for the attrib file.  It shows that the pathCreate() fix
to BackupPC_tarExtract to handle creating the .rsrc directories
for use with xtar is broken.

It is possible to fix things up so the old backups can be usefully
restored.  Do you need to do that?  One thing to try is to simply
rename the attrib file to, say, attrib.save, and that should allow
the missing files to be visible.  However, the uid/gid and attributes
will not be correct.  Another fix that requires from coding is to
fixup the attrib files.

In the meantime, I'll work on a patch to BackupPC_tarExtract that
I would like you to test.  Unfortunately I do not have a Mac to
test with.  I'm about to get on a plane to Europe, so I'll be out
of touch for a while.
