Usually, I would say that this is a limitation of the UNIX filesystem. A
directory's modification time can change anytime you add or remove a file in
that directory. Obviously it doesn't make sense to re-backup every file in a
hierarchy just because you created or removed one.
However, in this case you are using gnutar, which creates listed incrementals
(I assume you did not configure --without-gnutar-listdir) that can be used to
detect the renaming of a directory. Therefore I have forwarded your complaint
to the GNU tar folks.
Cheers,
