If you are at /home/daniell, the tar tries to find the files at

Sorry, try this:
tar -C / -cvf test.tar .ksh*
According to man 1 tar:
-C directory
[...] when creating, the specified files will be matched from the
directory.
So it should read the files from /
Anyway, it doesn't work the other way either:
$ tar -C / -cvf test.tar .ksh*
tar: Unable to access .ksh_logout: No such file or directory
tar: Unable to access .kshrc: No such file or directory
tar: WARNING! These file names were not selected:
.ksh_logout
.kshrc
