The output from `find' includes both directories and files in them. When a directory name appears in the file list, tar adds to the archive this directory and all files (including subdirectories) in it. Therefore, the resulting archive will contain N copies of each file, where N is the number of directories in the file's full name. To fix this, either tighten your find conditions (e.g. -type f), or give the --no-recursion option to tar.
