So this should work ..

On remote host (srbdev.vpac.org):

  /opt/globus-4.2.1/sbin/globus-gridftp-server -p 41000 -dc-whitelist udt,gsi,tcp \
    -fs-whitelist popen,file,ordering -aa

And on local-machine:
   globus-url-copy -vb -udt -pp -src-fsstack popen:argv=#/bin/tar#chCf#/data/ftp/tmp/d1#-#. \
    -dst-fsstack popen:argv=#/bin/tar#xCf#/var/tmp/graham#-,ordering \
    ftp://localhost:41000/x  ftp://srbdev.vpac.org:41000/z
--

But what it actually comes back with is:

Source: ftp://localhost:41000/
Dest:   ftp://srbdev.vpac.org:41000/
  x  ->  z

error: globus_xio: Unable to connect to localhost:41000
