the only solution for this is patching bb tar to work like ctar.
it is not so complicated, though. I shuold have a patch lying around, doing
this, but i do not know if it works for bb 0.49. I attach it to this mail,
just try it out and myabe it works ;-)
and maybe you should put the -X $EXCLUDE before the $INCLUDE...
