tar tries to process files even if in -X exclude-file.list. The same command with GNU tar executes without error.

$ cat /opt/.filetool.lst 
opt
home

$ cat /opt/.xfiletool.lst 
home/tc/hgfs

$ sudo /bin/tar -C / -X /opt/.xfiletool.lst -T /opt/.filetool.lst -czf /mnt/sda1/tar-test.tgz
tar: home/tc/hgfs: Permission denied
tar: error exit delayed from previous errors
