The quick fix, regardless of the real problem, is probably to run the
web browser on the backuppc server itself or some nearby machine with
a good network connection and download a tar image of what you need
through the browser.  Then use whatever transfer method you think will
be reliable to get the file where you want it and can to the tar
extract.

Did you set up ssh access to localhost in the same way as other hosts
(i.e. so the backuppc user can ssh commands as root)?  And if the keys
are set up, have you done a test run to answer the prompt you get on
the first ssh connection attempt?

No, still not clear on the shell side.  The tar extract command and
the BackupPC_tarCreate commands are two separate things.  You can pipe
the output of a BackupPC_tarCreate to the input of a tar extract, and
you can use ssh to make it happen on a different host, but I don't see
the pipe setup in your shell command.
