This is a dup of #35. Should be fixed in v0.7.6.

This is weird, as it's supposedly now adding --wildcards argument. Could you please add a print to whatever utils.tar_cmd() is returning:

https://github.com/mechboxes/mech/blob/91d7b921414089d902b7f580ee9f20a2e1b1a602/mech/utils.py#L324

That is the actual tar command being run, and it should contain --wildcards.

I have the same issue with mech v0.7.6:
