Thanks again for all your help. Comments inline.
Well, I guess I'm convinced to try out tar
Setting up tar was a snap, and there were no errors!
One more perhaps silly question, but just something I'd like to verify...
I assume that the tar program is run on the client machine, so that
means I'll have to upgrade to the "ideal" version of tar on each client.
Is my assumption correct?
Our workaround was to use a GNU tar wrapper (2000+ lines of

Is something that is publicly available? If so, where could I

Any info on this?
Thanks a lot!
