The problem seems to be that our tar cannot handle certain pathnames  
present in this files and it does error about them earlier in the output:

advancer# grep -w tar: tar.out
tar: Pathname can't be converted from UTF-8 to current locale.
tar: Pathname can't be converted from UTF-8 to current locale.

I haven't yet found the actual issue, though.
