Ok, I played around some more and reduced the number of directories I 
was trying to backup (about 10 or so to about 4) and then executed the 
script and it started to tar those directories, but failed. Here's the 
error:

So I think I know what to search on. I'll keep trying.. any hints 
welcome but I suppose this isn't really a cobalt issue?

cheers, Jd.
