Possibly MSYS, from www.mingw.org, would be more suited to your needs. It includes an implementation of GNU tar, which works with a more POSIXy style path notation. Alternatively, since it also includes a bash shell, you could maybe exploit the power of *nix shell scripting from your Windows service; e.g. you could have it spawn: sh.exe -c 'cd C:/wherever; tar cf archive .' for a tar archive with relative paths.
