>Description:
The example for copying a file system including metadata is wrong.
It's 
    tar cf - -C srcdir . | tar xpf -C destdir
which makes the second part of the pipe fail, since that tar wants to read
from the file '-C'. It should be
    tar cf - -C srcdir . | tar xpf - -C destdir
to let tar use stdin.
>How-To-Repeat:
man tar
>Fix:
See above.
