Gene, these DLEs are using GNUTAR dumptypes, right?
Have you tried using the amgtar application rather than GNUTAR
anywhere? With v3.5 on the server and Stretch on this client, you
should be all set to switch. I haven't actually tested your scenario
myself, but I'm fairly certain that amgtar's design allows it to avoid
this particular permission problem, so you might find this a good reason
to make the switch to amgtar at this point....
