Sounds like you may have created your tar file incorrectly. The
somewhat sketchy instructions say to create the tarball relative to the
client directory, not root.

The plot thickens, I can now do a clientupdate...sort of, for
some damnable reason it puts itself under
/usr/local/hobbit/client/hobbit/client/ (the repeated hobbit/client is
not a mistake) any ideas why it would do this?? Running tar xvf on the
files on the server creates the directories in the same directory as the
tar (i.e. no hobbit/client) so why is it doing it on the client side? Do
I need to alter BBHOME somehow?
Thanks,
Jason.

Hi All,
Have been working with clientupdate to get our server's RE-IP to
go smoothly but am having problems, I put the tar files into ~/download
and alter client-local.cfg to do:
[Foo.bar]
ClientID=server_move
The file under ~/download is call server_move.tar and has 777
permissions
The problem is it isn't working and I can't see a reason why,
when on foo.bar itself I run:
~/bin/clientupdate -update=server_move
And get the output:
tar: blocksize = 0
even adding .tar to the end of the -update does nothing, is
there any other way I can see what is happening and why it is going
wrong?
Thanks,
Jason.
