I unwillingly came across this situation a few days ago.

I was disturbed by the tar message, but quickly learned that it had to I
do with previous tar errors I had seen. In my case I was very happy with
this behaviour of tar, because it kept on doing what it was asked to do.

So: I think you should try to get hold of those 'previous errors'
(i.e. read between the lines of the verbose output of tar) to see how
serious they are.
