Didn`t work for me, too.
Try this one:
find etc gast root usr/local var/spool var/named var/lib/rc5 var/cron
home | \
grep -ve ^home\/archive\/pub\/comp | \
grep -ve ^home\/archive\/tmp | \
grep -ve ^usr\/local\/games | \
tar --no-recursion -T - -cIvf - | \
buffer -B -m 16M -p 90 -o /dev/nqft0
man find, man tar and man buffer will answer most questions about the parameters.
