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)
