BUG REPORT FOR TAR 1.13(Incremental backup) |

I am trying to do incremental backups with tar 1.13. However, if I do
something like:
tar cvf backup.tar -g file-list /home/guest
it works. Upon trying to list and it, however, I find that the tar file
contains many directories like 07124315726
My files are inside those directories. Upon trying to restore, I end
up with a unholy number of the 07 . . . directories with my files
actually in them. I've checked it out on the internet and many seem
to have problems. Is this a bug?
I realize that the 07. . . is probably an internal representation of
the date stamp. However, my problem is that when I try to restore,
all my files end up in the 07 . . . directories, not their original
homes. Naturally, I restore w/ something like tar xvgf backup
backup.tar (in the proper directory) What should I do?
Our Enviroment
RedHat linux 6.2
kernel 2.4.3
tar 1.13
