OK, one problem is the different use of options.

I've added the options xattr,acl,selinux to ftar because it was needed
when extracting CentOS base files.
In basefiles/mk-basefile the tar files are created with those options.

The best way would be to test, if the tar file include any
xattr,acl,selinux options any decide depending on this test if the
options should be used when extracting.

I would be happy to hear opinions from others.
