This is normal tar behavior. If that's not what you want, then instead
of doing
tar -zcvf ~/backups/`date '+%m-%d-%Y_%H'`.tar.gz ~/moo/db.db
do
cd ~/moo
tar -zcvf ~/backups/`date '+%m-%d-%Y_%H'`.tar.gz db.db

Just a thought, but why not modify your script to create a directory
using the output of date (like you're doing in your tar command now),
put db.db in that directory, and tar up that new directory, instead of
just db.db. You'd also want to write a script that will remove any
directories with yesterday's date.

I'd suggest installing ncftp, and looking at the man page for
ncftpput(1), it looks like it should do what you want.
