muttley distfiles # tar -cf - ./ --exclude=distfiles.tar.bz2 --exclude=distfiles.tar.bz2.asc | bzip2 -9 > distfiles.tar.bz2

tar: --exclude=distfiles.tar.bz2: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: --exclude=distfiles.tar.bz2.asc: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
muttley distfiles # ls -al |grep distfiles
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 234312 Oct 14 21:53 distfiles.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    189 Oct  7 21:24 distfiles.tar.bz2.asc

that first command works perfectly with tar-1.14.

fixed by changing the order of the arguments in the script. 
not a tar issue at all, sorry.
