I am not familiar with truss(1).  The manual page doesn't indicate that
I need to do anything other than issue the command suggested but the
truss output file is empty and truss logs an error.

  $ truss -o /tmp/truss.txt tar -czf dtt.tgz -C /data/tftp/thlan .
  tar: .: Unable to continue traversing directory tree: Permission denied
  tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
  truss: can not get etype: No such process
  $ 

With with the parent directory set to o+r tar(1) is happy but truss(1)
still does nothing.

  $ truss -o /tmp/truss.txt tar -czf dtt.tgz -C /data/tftp/thlan .
  truss: can not get etype: No such process
  $
