Hmmm... quite right. bsdtar 1.02.023, libarchive 1.02.026 Funny thing is it actually does do the copy but just spits out the error. I can see all the backups done (and retrieve them) but I unfortunately don't get the warm and fuzzy feeling of seeing the backup completed successfully. The freebsd box in question has a lean and mean setup and cannot be altered for reasons I can't mention here. Would there be any way to hack the tarclientcmd to get this to work at all?

An additional problem is that using GNU tar 1.16 does not work for changing (used) filesystems due to a changed return code.Try tar --version and if it does not say: tar (GNU tar) 1.14 (or 1.15 or 1.15.1) Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
