I use the ASCII headers for portability incase I need to restore to another

I missed the part about ! in the command. Thanks for the reply.
I would have been at this for at least an hour of, What the heck?

DDS-4) tapes for years. The command now appears to work for a while

I had the same problem recently and Google told me to look for

before Jan 1, 1970, and found one dated 1901. As soon as I
touched the problematic file, tar worked.
Many thanks.
