As a matter of fact, file "./IcebergAlpha/Library/Application Support/Iceberg/Projects Templates/Plug-ins/Spotlight Importer/._template.packproj" really does _NOT_ exist so there does not seem to be any valuable reason why pax would need to read it.

Three _is_ a reason for ._template.packproj: it's the Finder Info and resource fork stuff. Every file on a HFSx partition gets split on the fly when copied to a non-resource fork aware file system or archive. Same for cp, tar, rsync, ...


Obviously, the implementation of this on-the-fly split isn't savy against the assumptions made when pax was coded.
