Or, spend a few minutes learning the documentation conventions when
starting with a new operating system. Knowing things like what []'s
and ... mean when shown as command usage (and that the lack of []'s
means an argument is not optional there) can save years of
frustration.

That doesn't sound normal. Are you using a ramdisk-based /tmp file
system - and maybe a configuration set up to cache everything?
Also, if your client is on the same host, where is it storing what it
receives?
And does the same thing happen if you type the BackupPC_tarCreate
command line correctly?
