Fascinating. Upon further investigation, the *man pages* for tar on
Tiger are not gnutar, even though the binaries are.

I don't think you get it right...
This is my situation (and yours is probably similar):
I have bsd tar in /usr/bin/tar and bsd tar manual
in /usr/share/man/man1/tar.1 .

If you're on 10.4 and /usr/bin/tar isn't gnutar you have done something to modify it:

[g5:~] dluke% sw_vers
ProductName:    Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.4.8
BuildVersion:   8L127
[g5:~] dluke% /usr/bin/tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.14

In previous versions of Mac OS X, tar was actually cpio.
