During backups the tar in question is running on the
remote hosts with the error output being parsed on the
machine running backuppc.  Can you change the default
language on the target machines?  If not, it should
work to put LANG=C before $tarPath in
$Conf{TarClientCmd} so it will appear on the remote
command line.
