  Hmm.  You appear to have told tar to create the output archive in the root
directory of the filing system.

  Hmm.  You appear to be testing for the existence of said archive in the
current working directory, which I strongly suspect is /var.  I would
_expect_ the -f test to fail in this case, although I'm at a loss as to why
$arcrfname would have had a slash at the beginning when you passed it to the
tar command but has now somehow lost that slash....

  Hmm.  The fact that the stderr output is buffered somewhere along the line
and only now emerges may be entirely a red herring.

    cheers,
