Bash Tarring not un Tarring correctly

HI All,

Im encountering behaviour that is not correct for my requirements when I untar a file.

Im using the below command to tar up files from various folders to the ARCHIVE folder as below...

tar -cvf "$ARCHIVE_PATH"/"$dte_tar_filename" "$LOG_PATH" "$PROCESSED_PATH2" "$ERROR_PATH"


WHen I copy the tarred file into a seperate independent folder and use
tar -xvf *.tar , the files are untarred into the above folder respectively which I do not want. (Note the variables I pass into the tar command manitain the full path structure)

I just want all the folder structure and files to untar within the independent folder where I issued the command tar -xvf *.tar.

I missing a trick here.. any ideas?

Regards
Satnam
