Actually, someone pointed out this is a tar problem. I forgot that
RELENG_4 has a whole new version of tar. tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25 vs 1.11.2.
Old version of tar both forms work fine.
granite# tar -czf t.tgz /tmp/root
granite# tar -czf - /tmp/root t2.tgz
granite# tar -tzf t2.tgz
root/
Hey Mike,
Just as a POI, I think you'd get better results with 'rsync' for this
application (from the people that brought you Samba, readily available via
ports) - it'll do intelligent copying, when archiving can maintain a directory
of the previous versions for files that change, uses SSH
