I have even verified that the standard tar on OS X
works just fine, so don't bother with xtar or hfstar
if you are on OS X 10.4 or higher.
Here are the relevant lines from my config.pl for an
OS X client. Works just fine.
$Conf{TarShareName} = ['/Applications',
'/private/etc', '/Users'];
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -n -l root
$host'
. ' $tarPath -c -v -f - -C
$shareName+'
. ' --totals';
$Conf{TarFullArgs} = '$fileList+';
$Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root
$host'
. ' $tarPath -x -p --numeric-owner
--same-owner'
. ' -v -f - -C $shareName+';
$Conf{TarClientPath} = '/usr/bin/tar';
