Why you are talking here about tar(1) if you need restore(1M)?

just use another normal user and not 'root'; you only need read access
to the file on the remote server;

I'm usingt for restore:

# newfs /dev/daXXXXX
# mount /dev/daXXXXX /mnt
# cd /mnt

# ssh guru at albatros cat dumpsRebelion-20080825/usr.dmp.gz | gzip -dc | restore -r -f -

(my dumps are compressed there);
