Description Mike 2004-05-06 10:45:36 UTC 
I would like to be able to use sbmclient to create a tarfile of everything 
under a certain point in a CIFS directory tree and re-create that portion of 
the tree on another machine.  Whether I explicitly cd to the starting point or 
use the -D option, the tarfile still contains the entire path.

For example, consider a share that has the following directories:
/
/dirA
/dirA/dirB
/dirC
/dirC/dirD
/dirC/dirD/dirE

I want to create a tar starting at /dirC/dirD, without the './dirC/dirD/' 
prepended to the filenames in the archive.  dirE should be represented in the 
archive as './dirE', not as './dirC/dirD/dirE'.

I experience the same problem with Samba 2.2.7 on RedRat Linux 7.3.

The current behavrio is by design.  Patches are welcome.
closing until someone is willing to put in the time.
