I'm having a problem with GNU tar, version 1.05, when trying to create
multi-volume archives using the "M" option.  This problem is so basic
that I'm sure it must be a case of my not understanding TFM, but I
just don't seen it.  Can anyone out there tell me (via e-mail, unless
someone else out there also wants to see it,) what I'm doing wrong?

(Trivia Fans: I'm running on a Sun-3, version 3.5 SunOS, xt tape drive)

below is the script:
----------------------------------------------------------------
# ./tar -cvM /usr.MC68020/gwsun
./tar: Removing leading / from absolute path names in the archive.
usr.MC68020/gwsun/
usr.MC68020/gwsun/lost+found/
	..
	..
	lots of file names
	..
	..
	..

usr.MC68020/gwsun/gwu/3-89/nd/ndl4
usr.MC68020/gwsun/gwu/3-89/nd/ndl6
./tar: write to /dev/nrmt8 short 10240 bytes
# 
----------------------------------------------------------------

Many Thanks,

John
