It would have passed the test and failed the invocation as before. It
turns out that the tar being used is from the (old) MsysGit
installation. So I'm rearranging the path so it finds the system tar
instead. That should take care of things. (testing first before I do
anything else). On my initial test the system tar handled paths with
drive specs just fine.
