Cannot tar from root using tarfileset

           Summary: Cannot tar from root using tarfileset
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.4.1
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: barbaram@fedex.com
                CC: barbaram@fedex.com


We cannot tar from root.  See code below:

<target name="tarGUI">
        <tar longfile="gnu"
             tarfile="/crs/crsGUI.tar">
          <tarfileset dir="/" mode="775">
            <include name="/opt/bea/wls6.1sp2/config/FacDomain/*" />
          </tarfileset>
        </tar>
</target>

This produces an error: "tarGUI:
      [tar] Nothing to do: /crs/crsGUI.tar is up to date."

I can modify this two different ways and get it to work, but not get the 
results I want.  I can modify as follows:

<tar longfile="gnu"
             tarfile="/crs/crsGUI.tar">
          <tarfileset dir="${facDomain}" mode="775">
            <include name="**/*" />
          </tarfileset>
</tar>

which gives me a tar file starting with everything 
in /opt/bea/wls6.1sp2/config/FacDomain since that is what ${facDomain} is set 
to.  However, we want the FULL PATH including the /opt/bea/... in the tar file 
so that it doesn't matter which directory someone is in when they untar.  In 
this scenario, the user would have to be in /opt/bea/wls6.1sp2/config/FacDomain 
to untar correctly.

The other way I can get this to run is:

<tar longfile="gnu"
         tarfile="/crs/crsGUI.tar">
      <tarfileset dir="/" mode="775">
         <include name="opt/bea/wls6.1sp2/config/FacDomain/*" />
      </tarfileset>
</tar>

But it still doesn't tar everything in the directory and the leading slash in 
front of opt is still missing.  

Can you help?

Thank you in advance,
Barbara
