Ok, I've tried that. Using GNU tar version 1.11.2 I get:

gtar: cannot use multi-volume compressed archives

Now that's a shame. I really don't like backing up my harddisk without
compression (which does work BTW).
Perhaps you are using a more recent version (if any) of gtar.
Otherwise I'll just have to look for another solution (if any),
