Are you trying to tar up a directory listed by "tla archives" (an
archive), or a directory created by "tla get" (a working directory)?
It sounds like you're talking about a pristine tree in a working
directory rather than an archive. In that case, you can fix it with
"rm -rf {arch}/++pristine-trees".
However, I believe an arch archive, rather than a working directory,
corresponds with a CVS repository, so maybe you're not tarring up the
files you want. An archive should be amenable to tarring without any
complaints from tla.
