I have trouble with tar's -N format with 5.1 (yes, I am going to upgrade to 5.3 this weekend). Commands such as tar -cvzf arch.tar.gz -N '2004-09-01' * and tar -cvzf arch.tar.gz -N'10 days ago' * work fine for periods in the recent past (up to about 40 days), but for more than that, everything in the directory gets archived. It worked fine with a version of Cygwin at work on a Windows machine. Any clues, please?
