Hi Dan, Thanks for the report.
> However, this gives the following warning, one time, presumably for > /mymount/C itself which has been stripped down to having no filename: > tar: : Warning: Cannot stat: No such file or directory Yes, you're right, that's because stripping directory components resulted in an empty filename. I have fixed this in commit 6131dd2805 [1]. With this change, tar skips archive members for which file name transformation gives in an empty string. A warning is printed for each such member. You can suppress it using the --warning=no-empty-transform option. Regards, Sergey [1] https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/tar.git/commit/?id=6131dd28053d62906a833850368ac803389001b8
