As I said in my reply to Paul the above is a red herring. The tar job
always used to issue that first warning.

However, it didn't used to issue that before because to the best of my
knowledge there never has been any hard links in my home directory.

Yep, I do have a full path in the tar command. The warning about
stripping leading `/' from names isn't what bothers me, its the fact
that tar says there are hard links in my home directory that bothers me.
Thanks for the response.
