Looks like an APPGEN user! {;-)
Anyway ... I've seen these types of errors whilst creating a tarball ...
I think it indicates that a file changed during the operation.
Is that possible in your case?

Subject: filename.tar failing to untar
Hello:
I've been searching high and low for any information that might help me
restore from a backup tar file that is being difficult for some reason.
The file is just your basic tar file without any compression.
Here is the command I'm typing:
tar xvf 2003-07-17.tar
And here is the last few lines from the result:
...
/DP/
/DP/PDEF.DP000000
/DP/PDEF.DP010000
/DP/RDEF.DP010000
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[root@lucia root]#
Here is the version of tar we are running:
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25
The filesize of the backup file is consistant with the other files that have
worked fine.
Does anyone know what options I have? Is there some way to look into
the file to see what may be wrong?
Thanks so much in advance,
Steven
