Code:
cd /debian
/home/user/img-install/ tar cf - . | (cd /floppy/; tar xvf -)
or if
Code:
tar cf - . | (cd /floppy/; tar xvf -)
is enough.

Thank you very much and sorry for the mistake!
The "/home/user/img-install/" should simply be omitted indeed (that was obviously part of the path of tar in some other installation). Also one should better use the usual mount point for the N900, "/.debian" (after a closechroot). There is actually an app (pwsafe) which puts files into "/debian", which then get masked, though that should in principle be harmless since it's only temporary.
