On a hunch, I gave the following a shot: tar -cvlf - '/usr/local/etc/transmission/home/Downloads'/ | split -a 2 -b 3900m - /mnt/usb/TX_DL.tar. which created a split tar archive of the files on /mnt/usb. I'm still thinking there's something with the source path/file names that the msdosfs driver on BSD doesn't like, but at least this way is usable for the intended scenario. I guess I'll call this solved unless you all have some insight as to why the original method wasn't working. Thanks for all the help so far!
