When running tar with the exclude set tar creates a 10k empty tar file.

I have a script that tars a all the sub directories of a directory into
individual tar files for each subdirectory. I have an exclude file that
is set to skip some of the folders I don't want tarred. This works but
it creates the empty tar files. Is this normal? Can it be set not to do
this?
