How come this is not working??

portage $ tar -lcf - .  | ssh  -l root x.x.x.x  "tar -xvpf - -C
/mnt/gentoo/usr/portage"

tar: Bad Option: -xf.
Usage:  tar cmd [options] file1 ... filen

Use     tar -help
and     tar -xhelp
to get a list of valid cmds and options.

Use     tar H=help
to get a list of valid archive header formats.

Use     tar diffopts=help
to get a list of valid diff options.
