err.. i did a link to tar for gtar...
[office bin]# ls -la gtar

could that be the reason?

 I tried with tar i get similar error

Running: /bin/tar -c -f - -C /samba  --totals .
full backup started for directory /samba
Xfer PIDs are now 10937,10936
/bin/tar: Substituting `.' for empty member name
/bin/tar: : Cannot stat: No such file or directory

D'oh! I mis-interpreted the error message. Tar is being called correctly; the error message is coming from 'tar' itself. It appears that tar simply has nothing to back up and 'cannot stat' the nothing it's supposed to be backing up. What is the tarsharename that it's supposed to be backing up? Also - what version of tar are you using? (tar --version)
