Haven't finished with TAR-BZIP2 yet, but I think that I have found the 
problem.

Could I ask that someone please check their installation from a distro 
and see if you have the command lines as listed above?  The reason that 
I ask is that I wonder if your distro might have fixed the problem.

I found that if I removed: "--changetofirstpath " that it then works 
correctly and I get a TAR file that doesn't start with: "/../.." and 
actually starts with the directory displayed in Konqueror where I used 
the Ark service -- which is the expected result.

It is things like this that really make we wonder.
