It produces a valid tar file, but I get

Got unknown type 8 for ./etc/egd-pool

on standard error.

I do not have those files anymore.  Type 9 is a Solaris door file.

The issue is not that it can't tar those files.  I can live with that.
The problem is that the errors are messing up the tar and zip files.
Perhaps you are directing all output from BackupPC_tarCreate to the
web engine instead of just STDOUT.
