They appear like valid filenames to me (and like the names you get with courier for messages)

The issue is that tar is getting a file list and then the user is downloading (POP) or deleting or changing the status of a message (like reading it -- the filename itself encodes the read, deleted, etc status of a message) before tar actually archives it. Or something like that. The file system is changing out from underneath the OP.

make a snapshot first if this is an issue.
