You don't need that since you'll be supplying the output pipeline or 
filename directly for Backuppc_tarCreate.  But one thing that might not 
be obvious from my previous post - or the docs is that Backup_tarCreate 
generates the tar output as ./path/file.  So if you want everything, 
your last argument to Backuppc_tarCreate should be '.' - or '/' will 
work too.  Experiment with the command line adding -L so you just get 
the listing instead of the contents to see how everything works.
