I was going to launch into an explanation of shell quoting, but come to

The tar one-liner is similar what I used to use on Gentoo and Arch
linux, so I thought it strange that it isn't working here. I'm still
having problems though, since the command returns Can't create
'$FILENAME' for all files found.
I quick tested by telling the tar command to copy to /tmp

I apologize for the lack of detail. The command I'm using is:

I've also tried:

On a hunch, I gave the following a shot:
tar -cvlf - '/usr/local/etc/transmission/home/Downloads'/ | split -a 2
-b 3900m - /mnt/usb/TX_DL.tar.
which created a split tar archive of the files on /mnt/usb. I'm still
thinking there's something with the source path/file names that the
