[SOLVED]makepkg/bsdtar not packing correctly

Hi, when I try to install sabnzbd-svn from the AUR, the package is not created as it should be. It fails to maintain the directory hierarchy: It should look like:

/a
/b
/c/x/y/z/...

Instead it looks like this:

/a
/b
/c/x/y/z/...
/x/...
/y/...
/z/...

Where /{xyz} contain some but not all files of the following directories.

A manual bsdtar -cf test.tar * .INSTALL .PKGINFO gives the same results. tar -cf test.tar * .INSTALL .PKGINFO works fine though. Now it is getting a little weird: tar -czf test.tar.gz * .INSTALL .PKGINFO works only sometimes. If it works bsdtar/gz works too. But plain bsdtar seems to fail everytime ...

Can anyone replicate this or is this something in my configuration?

What exactly do you mean?
I build the package just fine, here[1] is the link to the output of

pacman -Qpl sabnzbd-svn-2653-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

Hmm, my output looks the same. Seems to be related to midnight commander's vfs (where I was browsing the package). Never happened before, but should have had thought of that ... Thanks.
