thanks. i tried that exactly.
i still get unexpected eof, whether i pipe tar to burncd
 or just burncd the tar.gz file, i get similar errors:

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

maybe it's gzip.  i've got 1.2.4
i'll try tar alone and see what happens.
thanks, Bob.
