    Hello all,

    I upgraded 5.2.1 to 5.3 recently and I'm trying to run my cron scripts
    which use tar utility (which defaults to bsdtar(1) on 5.3) and I can't
    figure out how to use '--exclude pattern' with it. It seems I'm
    missing something obvious here or bsdtar(1) is happily ignoring
    --exclude option.

    my system:
    FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p1 #4: Sat Nov 27 19:37:42 CET 2004

    here's what I try to run:

    orchid# /usr/bin/tar -czvf /home/root.backup/test.tar.gz -C /home . \
     --exclude "root.backup/*" --exclude "pub/*" --exclude "ncvs/*"

    I tried '-W exclude=pattern', too:

    orchid# /usr/bin/tar -czvf /home/root.backup/test.tar.gz -C /home . \
      -W exclude="root.backup/*" -W exclude="pub/*" -W exclude="ncvs/*"

    Both commands include all directories under /home. However using
    /usr/bin/gtar works as expected.

    Any help appreciated. Thanks.

    Karol
