I forgot, there is a comment about the tarmode needing to be set to fix a fix that changed the default to not archive system and hidden files.
I didn't test to see if this was still the case, but it sounds like changing the tarmode to inc is the better option, unless the -T[args] are allowed to override the tarmode and -T flags are added for system and hidden files, or if just calling tarmode without specifying an option still grabs those files (it says it is going to). Ie: -c 'tarmode' Maybe the tar system and hidden files flags should be added for tarmode and tar/-T anyway to avoid any misunderstanding of whether an archive is going to contain those files or not.
