Is Tar Ignoring -X and --exclude?

[whitedavidp]

I am running your busybox due to the use of LinuxDeploy. Before that I was using Stericson's. I have a nightly backup of the internal SD card on my device and I use both -X and --exclude to avoid issues of trying to tar files that are in use or otherwise not wanted in the backup. I log the output for the tar command to a file and I see files that should be excluded in the output. On other devices using Stericson's I do not see this. Is there something wrong that I am doing? Or do these options simply not work even though they are showing if I simply execute tar? Thanks!
