[ale] tar options - HELP!

[jeffrey.b.layton at lmco.com (Jeffrey B Layton)]

Hello,

   I created a tar archive on tape with the command:

tar cvfl /dev/st0 /home /opt /usr/local

to back the directories listed. Now, how do I extract
/usr/local/* from the archive? I've tried

tar xvf /dev/st0 /usr/local
tar xvf /dev/st0 /usr/local/*

and several other variations with no success. I've
looked at the man pages, but it seems that it should
work (I did a tar tf /dev/st0 | grep file to locate a
particular file, so I know th archive is intact).

TIA,

Jeff Layton
