Hi

I don't know if this is worth a bug report, but it looks like GNU tar does not 
accept wildcards in combination of the -C option.

This works for me:
> tar czf foobar.tar.gz *.sql
as well as
> tar -C ~/foobar -czf foobar.tar.gz foobar.sql
but the following command exits with an error:
> tar -C ~/foobar -czf foobar.tar.gz *.sql
> tar: *.sql: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
> tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

... is it me or is it GNU tar?

Best, Lx
