tar: Damaged tar archive, Retrying...

[Nikos Vassiliadis]

Hi,

I am currently using tar to copy some very files to another host and
got this:
> tar: Damaged tar archive
> tar: Retrying...
> tar: Damaged tar archive
> tar: Retrying...
> tar: Damaged tar archive
> tar: Retrying...
> tar: Damaged tar archive
> tar: Retrying...
> tar: Damaged tar archive

The copy is done using tar|nc and nc|tar on the receiving host.
This looks like a bug and I wonder whether the copy is OK.

Thoughts?
TIA, Nikos
