Could this be a "problem" with the tars that are on shellx?
/usr/local/bin/tar is the gnu tar and /sbin/tar is the SGI.  Does the
bahvious differ between the two.  I remember whenI was switching
between Berkeley and System V tars before V.4 came out that the system
V tar did things that I *really* didn't want to happen.
