Well, sure.  You must specify one of the '-Acdtrux', '--delete' or 
'--test-label' options to tar.  See where it says "Running:" and then 
your "tar" command line?  There's no command there to tell tar to do 
anything.

$TarClientCmd, for example, is usually something like '/usr/bin/sudo 
$tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName+ --totals' -- if you notice that first 
"-c" in the command line, it's the one that tells tar to actually create 
an archive (as opposed to complaining that you've neglected to tell it 
to do anything.)
