unless you care about preserving hardlinks. which probably isn't
why the original poster is using it, but might be.

i don't think your tar client command is complete -- there's no "tar"
there. mine (which is in conf/config.pl, not in each host's
config file) looks like this:
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$sshPath -x -q -n -l root $host'
. ' $tarPath --one-file-system -c -v -f - -C $shareName+'
. ' --totals';
note that this includes the full ssh'ed invocation of tar.
