Sun's tar also writes ACLs in a way that is 100% non-portable. Star cannot

Is that because they are NFSv4 ACLs? tar uses the formatting routines
from libacl to archive them.
The correct way to archivbe ACLs would be to put them into extended POSIX tar
attrubutes as star does.
See http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/man/star/star.4.html for a format
documentation or have a look at ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/star/alpha, e.g.
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/star/alpha/acl-test.tar.gz
The ACL format used by Sun is undocumented......
