B19.1: tar -u option under NT 4.0 SP3 does not update properly

Hi,
I'm new to gnu-win32 so it might just be me but repeating a tar job
with -u should update only if the files are newer then the previous
tarred files correct . But it keeps adding the files but they are all
the same set of files exactly. An example is as follows
bash-2.01$ tar -v -u /temp/ati/* -f /temp/test1.tar
tar: Removing leading `/' from absolute path names in the archive
temp/ati/DE5110C1.EXE
temp/ati/MAKEDISK.BAT
temp/ati/MAKEDISK.PIF
bash-2.01$ tar -v -u /temp/ati/* -f /temp/test1.tar
tar: Removing leading `/' from absolute path names in the archive
temp/ati/DE5110C1.EXE
temp/ati/MAKEDISK.BAT
temp/ati/MAKEDISK.PIF
bash-2.01$ tar -v -u /temp/ati/* -f /temp/test1.tar
tar: Removing leading `/' from absolute path names in the archive
temp/ati/DE5110C1.EXE
temp/ati/MAKEDISK.BAT
temp/ati/MAKEDISK.PIF
After this you would expect, if I'm reading the help on tar properly,
that I should only have one copy of the files since they haven't changed
at all. Is this a problem ?
Thank You
Jack
