As noted by Thomas Eckert:

    bb-tar "cjf" does not create a valid tbz2-archive -- if fact the result is a
    plain tar-file (no compression) -- but does not warn about the unrecognized
    parameter combination "cj" (bb does not have bzip2-compression yet, right?).

to fix this I have added an error message stating this does not work.

He also reported

    cosmetic: versose "-v" does not show any output when used with "create"

which I have now fixed as well.
