This is indeed strange... can you check if /etc/tarsnap.conf is
being read?  It's possible that autoconf is picking /etc/ as the
place for configuration files; this seems unlikely given that you
had it installed under /usr/local, but I've learned to not assume
any sort of predictable behaviour from autoconf.
