Basically I have a single directory full of files and have to create a
single tar file which when untarred will place each file into a specific
directory/subdirectory based upon values in the file. That directory
structure will not exist on the source AIX system, in fact the target
directory names will be windows directories, e,g
D:\directoryname\subdirectoryname. I can assume that the toplevel directory
D: will exist on the target machine but nothing else will.

You can't do this with tar.
You might be able to achieve what you want with pax, using the -i flag.
There may be a better solution; what are you tying to do?
