Thank you very much for reporting this.

This is not a bug, in the sense that I implemented --diff on purpose as it 
is now. But I agree with you that it would be more useful to process option 
--directory in --diff as in --create.

I'll fix the behavior of --diff and release a new version as soon as possible.

The reason why I implemented --diff as I did is that the documentation for 
GNU tar seems to imply that --directory is order sensitive only for --create:

http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Option-Summary.html
'--directory=dir'
'-C dir'
    When this option is specified, tar will change its current directory to 
dir before performing any operations. When this option is used during 
archive creation, it is order sensitive.

Best regards,
Antonio.
