Yes.  If you look at the files being complained about, you'll find they are 
broken symbolic links.  The tar command doesn't care about the health of 
symbolic links, it just backs them up.  Then, when you run the diff (which does 
care) you get the complaints because the targets of the links don't actually 
exist.
