Wops, that was stupid : )
I fixed that

And I even checked $PIPESTATUS behaviour before.
This looks like a problem with bsdtar which returns 0 even if the file is 
missing:

carlocci ~/.abs/tmp  $  bsdtar -cf foo.tar /etc/shadow && echo I\'m dumb!
bsdtar: Removing leading '/' from member names
bsdtar: /etc/shadow: could not open file: Permission denied
I'm dumb!

This is a nice workaround, as long as we can't trust bsdtar.
