First thought here:
Look for the GNUtar-version.
1.13.25 should work.
Newer releases are known to cause problems.

Apart from that we could need more infos:

Did you do any changes/updates on this client lately, has it worked
before?


Well, it's a brand-new install, so I suppose you could say it has never worked before.

As to the tar version:

bash-2.05$ gtar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.13

Does 1.13.25 come after 1.13? If so, then I will upgrade gtar and see if that helps.
