Copying a file system w/ tar - symbolic links not copied right.

Hi all...

I'm trying to move a file system from one disk to another, and when I do
this:

tar cf - /source/* | ( cd /destination && tar xfv - )

It copies all the files, but the symbolic links are copied as files of 0
length, rather than re-established as links.

What am I doing wrong here, or is my tar broken?
