The tar one-liner is similar what I used to use on Gentoo and Arch linux, so I thought it strange that it isn't working here. I'm still having problems though, since the command returns " Can't create '$FILENAME' " for all files found. I quick tested by telling the tar command to copy to /tmp instead, and it worked fine. Copying a few test files created with ee transfer to /mnt/usb fine as well. I'm thinking there may be some characters (or even name length) that are causing the problem. Are there restrictions on filename characters/length on drives mounted with msdosfs? The mount entry for the drive is: /dev/da0s1 on /mnt/usb (msdosfs, local) #with -o longnames
