>Why can't we use gnutar to write to a SCSI tape drive?

One reason may be because gnutar only preserves metadata thought of 30 years ago. It may preserve permissions, chflags, and mtime, ctime, etc. However it won't preserve all Mac OS X metadata like creation date, comments, custom icon, etc.

tar is an anachronism anyway |-\
