[X4U] Re: Using gnutar in Tiger.

I also looked at the darwin sources to tar and saw that it supports a  
filename as in

/usr/bin/gnutar -W -v -p -X /usr/local/bruconfig/gnuxpat -N /var/ 
backup/BACKUP-0 -cf /Volumes/External/BRUBackups/annie/ 
backup-20060304-3.tar /

but this also results in a full backup. ie. it's not considering only  
those files that are more recent than the mtime of BACKUP-0
