the --directory= option in the version of gnu tar that went out with gcc
2.95 and slackware 8.0 does not perform as documented. I found this out by
trying to backup the /boot directory first and upon testing the archive
found only files I knew to be only located in /root on my system. I've
gotten around the bug by using cd /boot and cd /etc and so on before tar
runs each time to control where tar starts its backup each time.
