I've just seen this old thread

Is this possibly my problem Dustin?
NO-UNQUOTE
If "NO" (the default), gnutar doesn't get the --no-unquote option
and the diskname can't have some characters, eg. '\'. If "YES", then the
--no-unquote option is given to gnutar and the diskname can have any
characters. This option is available only if you are using tar-1.16 or
newer.
How do I enable this option? (and shouldn't it be YES by default for a
normal install? whats the downside?)
Cheers,
Mark
