You could just run a normal tar with the same directory list...

The --dry-run option is great for verifying what files would be backed 
up, but it slows down on large files. It would be helpful if there was 
an option (--filelist-only ?) that just listed the files to be backed up 
when there's no need to calculate archive sizes.
