Just following up on my efforts to import a host's existing file-level backups 
located under /home/backup/hostname/cur/ on the BackupPC server into the 
BackupPC pool located in /home/BackupPC/pool. I think I can do what I need 
without additional scripts or efforts to tar.gz the current files.

It occurred to me that I wasn't backing up the BackupPC host, so went through 
the process of adding the following to the TarClientCmd for that host:
/usr/bin/sudo $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName+ --totals

That made me realise that the files I want to seed for my remote host could be 
similarly imported with something like this (found after much trial and error!):
/usr/bin/sudo $tarPath -cvf - -C /home/backup/$host/cur$shareName . --totals
(note the lack of a + sign)

and similarly remove the + from TarFullArgs:
$fileList

Looks like it's cranking away now! The final test will be to switch it back to 
rsync to see if it matches up.
