1. Each addition or deletion of a file and/or directory, causes the
parent directory to be "updated".
2. When you tar a directory, all of its contents and sub-contents
are tarred too.
Combine these two facts, and you'll understand why all the files
are tarred.
A possible workaround: Add "-type f" to your find.
Note: The command you mentioned will cause the file pathes to begin
with "/". It is recommended to enter to the top of the hierarchy
and to use "." instead of "/something", or simply playing with the
flags of find to achieve a similar effect.
