This is my tar version: tar-1.13.25-4, which I assume is GNU. As for my problem of tar seeing only one partition, someone pointed out that my tar command: tar -C "$1" -cOl . | tar -C "$2" -xpf - in fact has a -l option in it (combination of senility and failing eyesight associated with advanged age, I suspect). I have not had an opportunity to test whether simply leaving it out will resolve the problem.
