Currently, ofarc refuses to extract anything that is not a file or a directory. This is currently for security reasons, as otherwise a tar file could create a symlink x -> /home/js and then contain a file x/.profile to override my /home/js/.profile file. Many archivers have this security hole (in fact, I reported this to Apple a few years back, as their tar was vulnerable), so special care has to be taken here to avoid this.
