That's helpful but I don't think it explains what I am seeing.
When I have the --sparse option turned on, tar does not backup all the
files that it should. There is at least one directory where it doesn't
backup ANY files at all in it.
Thanks,

Look at the GNU tar manual (not the man page) for a good explanation
of what sparse files are and how --sparse handles them:

I am having some problems with GNU tar and amanda. I am running amanda 2.4.2p2
with gnutar 1.13.19 (I have also tried 1.13.25) on Solaris 8 (sparc).
The command line that I am running is:
/usr/local/bin/tar --create --file /tmp/conf.tar --directory /export/raid/conf
--one-file-system --sparse
