Not good news from me, just a rememberance of something similar.

Back when I was first trying a cygwin client I remember getting the
same type of message.  Ok I thought, on the cygwin client it is called
"amgtar" and here it is "gtar" and they are in different locations
even though they were the same version of gnutar.  So I put a link or
a copy of my server's "gtar" in the same location on the server as on
the client and called it "amgtar" just like on the client.

I got the same type of message.  I did not persue it any further to
figure out the cause nor a workaround.
