Actually it works better this way:
cd /mnt/scratch/pub/2/engima
(cd /mnt/cdrom; tar cf - .)|tar xvf -
You DO NOT want the v option as part of the tar create, as it will pass
that info to the extracting tar and it will barf at you about that.
I do the above all the time to move stuff between directories.
