Thanks, you're right - the default is now bsdtar.  BackupPC_dump watches
the output from tar and counts the number of lines that start with "./".
Unfortunately bsdtar generates output "a ./" for each file added to the
archive, so BackupPC_dump thinks there are no files being archived.

The best option is to change $Conf{TarClientPath} on Snow Leopard
clients from tar to gnutar (eg: /bin/gnutar, assuming that's the
right path).
