Yes, tar is very good at that.
(Another thing to check is that /media/mmc2 is not mounted with -o
noexec.)

Wait a second. Did you do these two steps in exactly this order?
Because if you did, then after ln -s you ended up with a symlink in
/usr/usr, and after the second step you did not have a /usr at all,
because the symlink got moved with the whole old /usr to /usr-old/usr.

I don't know. Maybe.
