There is a similar command (from solaris tar man-page): 
 
SYNOPSIS 
     tar c  [  bBeEfFhiklnopPqvwX  [ 0-7 ]  ]  [ block ]  [  tar- 
     file  ]   [ exclude-file ]  { -I include-file | -C directory 
     | file  | file }  ... 
 
-C directory file 
           Performs a chdir (see cd(1))  operation  on  directory 
           and  performs  the c (create) or r (replace) operation 
           on file. Use short relative path names  for  file.  If 
           file  is  `.',  archive  all  files in directory. This 
           option enables archiving files  from  multiple  direc- 
           tories not related by a close common parent. 
 
It seems that the command order is important. Using  
>  tar -cf admin.tar admin/  -C . 
instead of 
>  tar -C . -cf admin.tar admin/  
works (at least I get a file named "admin.tar" containing the desired files).
