Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but UniVerse has been stopped (i.e. completely shut down) when you took that tar? Remember that type 30 files keep their header information in shared memory until UniVerse is closed down, so any tar whilst UniVerse has the file open (even if quiescent) may be unreliable.
