modified version of the script :
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

#
# Build list of files to archive
#

FileList=$PWD/filelist
> $FileList
while read DAYS ARCH_PATH
do
  cd $ARCH_PATH
  find . \( -type d ! -name . -prune  \) -o  -type f  -mtime +$DAYS | \
  sed "s+^.+$PWD+" >> $FileList
  cd -
done < filestoarchive.txt

#
# Tar all selected files using builded list
# For some Unix flavour, the -L option is replaced by another option (-I, not sure)
#

tar -cvfL  kay_`date +%d%m%y%H%M`.tar $FileList

#
# Delete all tared files only if tar successful
#

if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
   while read file
   do
      rm -f $file
   done < $FileList
fi

First read tar man page to determine the right option (-L or -I).
Execute the script and verify the list of selected files in filelist.
List contents of producted tar file (using tar -tvf).

bf_tar

BF_TAR(1)						    Bogofilter Reference Manual 						 BF_TAR(1)

NAME

       bf_tar - shell script to write a tar file of a bogofilter directory to stdout

SYNOPSIS

       bf_tar [-r] [-R] bogofilter_directory

DESCRIPTION

       bf_tar bundles a bogofilter working directory in tar format and copies it to standard output (your console, or where you redirect it, see
       EXAMPLES below).

OPTIONS

       The -r option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files after the archive has been written successfully. The default is to leave log
       files.

       The -R option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files before the archive is written. This may reduce chances that the resulting archive
       is recoverable should it become damaged. The archive may be smaller though. The default is to leave log files.

EXIT STATUS

       The script exits with status code 0 if everything went well, and nonzero if it encountered trouble.

EXAMPLES

       o   bf_tar ~/.bogofilter > outfile.tar

	   Writes a standard .tar file containing the essential files from ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.

       o   bf_tar ~/.bogofilter | gzip -9 -c > outfile.tar.gz

	   Writes a gzipped .tar.gz file containing the essential files from ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.gz.

       o   bf_tar `pwd`/mydirectory > outfile.tar

	   Prepend $(pwd)/ or `pwd`/ if you want to specify an absolute path instead of a relative path.

NOTES

       This script is meant for use with Berkeley DB based bogofilter versions.

       This script requires a SUSv2 compliant pax utility.

       This script expects a SUSv2 compliant shell. Solaris systems should have the SUNWxcu4 package installed (when bogofilter is configured) so
       that /usr/xpg4/bin/sh can be used.
