Hi,
This is the test case:
OS: Solaris 10
Host: non-global zone
Tar version: 1.19
I use the following command to create a tar file:
tar cvPTWf list.file my.tar

Where list.file contents only one line:
/usr/local/testdir/testfile

After my.tar file creating I remove /usr/local/testdir dir,
And use the following command to open tar file:

tar xvPf my.tar

I get the following error message:
Tar: /usr/local/testdir/testfile: Cannot open: No such file or directory
Tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Some more info:
1.Using tar command without P flag creates local dir tree without any
problem.
2.Using /usr/sbin/tar instead of Gnu tar fix the problem.
3.Gnu tar on other file system(not /usr/local) works properly.
4.Creating /usr/local/testdir dir prior to tar command execution fix the
problem.
5. Gnu tar works properly on global zone.
