What was the current working directory when you issued the tar command?
tar uses path names, which are relative to the current working directory
(`cwd`).
So to control path names in the tar archive, cd to the appropriate
directory and then tar from there.
Probably the problem that into symbolic link you have absolute and not relative
path?
Can you check this by ls -l?

I have a source tree which some
find . -type l -exec ls -l {} \;
and check that no link begins with /home (or what ever absolute path).
You can run this command on /usr to see some examples:
