Running Backuppc 3.1.0 on Ubuntu 10.10.

I'm backup up the /etc on localhost and /etc, /usr on a FreeBSD 5.2.1 machine.
The backup works and completes with zero errors.  It does not however back up
any files in /etc or /usr on the FreeBSD host.  It only backs up the directories
and the files contained therein.  The files in /etc on localhost backup 
correctly.
I assume the problem is in tar somehow.

Any tips?

The tar command on the FreeBSD
machine is...

$sshPath -q -x -n -l root $host env LC_ALL=C $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName+ 
--totals

FreeBSD tar version...

R4P17# tar --version
