Hello, It is not possible to give sharp hints without more relevant information like: - What is your platform? - Which version of python? - What is the version of: $ tar --version (GNU tar, other proprietary tar, according to my personal experience, AIX tar may fail) - Is your disk full or do you have the correct permissions with your current user?
