What do you have against "cpio"?  Admittedly it's harder to use than "tar" 
but I still come across it from time to time; also, "tar" had a bug at one 
time whereby it did not handle an empty directory, and I think there was a 
problem with devices/sockets as well.

Heck, I still have "cpio -adplumv" burned into my retinas.
