Now, now -- be nice. You're living on "the edge" in terms of kernel versions (and presumably other software), and that will invariably lead to hardship. I think that installing a newer tar and setting CHECK_DEVICE to "no" will clear this up. After all, we introduced this feature just for you :) I realize that Fedora doesn't have a new enough tar yet -- you could build your own, or modify the RPM .spec to build the newest version and rebuild.
