It appears that in Ubuntu rmt is provided by both the tar and dump
packages, but the tar version appears to be a straight copy from the
dump package, and switching to the version from the dump package gets
the same result.  tar is able to use rmt just fine.

Neither of the numbers listed appear to be correct.  The block size
should be 1048576 bytes, not 1048580... not sure why there are 4 extra
bytes there, and I have no idea why it thinks it is expecting the insane
198244065 bytes.
