Re: problem while moving HOME from FreeBSD to MacOS with bsdtar

gnutar show the same problem with the directory guru/Mail created as a
plain file, why it is a directory in the archive:

$ gtar xzf ../guru-vm-r368166-last.tar.gz
gtar: guru/Mail/purism: Cannot open: Not a directory
gtar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

$ ls -ld guru/Mail
-rw-r--r--  1 apitzm  xxxx\Domain Users  4016  9 Nov 12:36 guru/Mail

$ gtar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.34

This means that the problem is within the created archive. I have at
home an identical FreeBSD and will create a small example...
