Hi,
I believe this is a small bug in the filename transformation option.
Assuming that /etc/passwd exists, and trying to change the second letter 's' to
'@':
tar cf - /etc/passwd | tar tf - --transform='s:s:@:2' --show-transformed-names
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
etc/paetc/pas@wd
A simple reordering of the code produces the expected result 'etc/pas@wd'
