You are correct. I ment the TAR option.
 With the listing for TAR and GTAR there is no option listed for "--ignore-failed-read do not exit with nonzero on unreadable files" as there is for "-v, --verbose". That is the problem I am having. What option character to use to ignore errors. Thanks,
Ron
I am busy doing exports and FTPing them to the server. That's why I typed the wrong command.

I assume you mean tar option? I use gnu tar:

 gtar --help | grep fail

     --ignore-failed-read do not exit with nonzero on unreadable files
