R 1.2 build

I think the problem is that older versions of tar wants un-hyphened
options i.e.

tar chXf $exclude $startdir/$filename $pkgname

It works with
tar chf  $startdir/$filename $pkgname

I didn't try your example because I'm fairly sure $exclude should not
immediately follow f, but I'm not sure what the proper syntax should be.
(The man page is not very helpful.)
