.[^.]* expands to '.[^.]*' if no dot file exists i.e. you will get
an error from tar. You can make it expand to nothing with "shopt -s
nullglob" but that might be bash specific. Alternative would be to
just use . instead of any wildcard. Filenames in the archive look a
bit different then (start with ./) but otherwise the result is the
same.
