The resulting backup does not contain data because every call to "star" fails due to the "-acl" flag. Could it be related with the version of "star" brought by RHEL5.3 (star-1.5a75-2.i386) ?

Here is a mondoarchive.log extract (full file attached):

star: Archive format 'star' does not support -acl. Usage: star cmd [options] file1 ... filen

Use star -help and star -xhelp to get a list of valid cmds and options.

Use star H=help to get a list of valid archive header formats.

Use star diffopts=help to get a list of valid diff options.

[Bruno Cornec]

Fix in rev [2419] Due to an old usage of the star format which is incompatible with ACLs. Format has been changed to exustar instead.
