i am having problems with debians gnu tar, not producing
incremental backups as expected. it seems to create just a file
with one single current timestamp in the snapshot file, not a
per-file timestamp with inode information as it sometimes does
(not sure why or when).

please consider the attached script which exhibits the described
behaviour. it creates this output:

Please tell me how i can make tar produce proper incremental
backups (which seem to fail for my part because of bogous
snapshot files).

i was not able to find the development mailing list's address;
feel free to take this there, but please cc me since i am not on
it.
