This is a problem caused by the GNU implementation of the rmt protocol. If you like to avoid this limitation, just use the rmt implementation from star ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/star/alpha/ ... it may be that you need to replace the rmt client implementation in GNU tar by star's librmt in case you like to benefit from the new RMT Protocol version 1 The new RMT Protocol version 1 is the rmt protocol extension, Sun and UCB did agree on ~ 15 years ago. Sun already decided to replace Sun's current implementation which has been done by UCB buy the rmt implementation from star around April 2005. BTW: any application that likes to avoid interoperability problems caused by previous versions of the rmt protocol should convert to the new RMT Protocol version 1 anyway.
