Hi Terry,
I have seen this problem with Unix computers running either Samba,
Appletalk sharing, or PCNFS. Something, possibly a misconfigured Samba,
is probably using that UID as the "nobody" UID. If you're not using
Samba for anything and it's just installed and "turned on" I think it
would be a good idea to turn it off as it could be a security liability,
plus that may take care of your UID problem. You also might try
upgrading to tar-1.13.19 if you haven't already--that seems to clear up
some problems where an exit code should be returned to indicate a
"warning" rather than a total "failure."
