They appear like valid filenames to me (and like the names you get
with courier for messages)
The issue is that tar is getting a file list and then the user is
downloading (POP) or deleting or changing the status of a message
(like reading it -- the filename itself encodes the read, deleted,
etc status of a message) before tar actually archives it. Or
something like that. The file system is changing out from underneath
the OP.
make a snapshot first if this is an issue.

Thank you and Norberto for your replies. Your explanations make sense
for most cases but I don't think it applies to mine. This is a small
home system and the only mail users are myself and my wife. Thus I had
the luxury of stopping courier-imap and trying tar again. Same errors.
Also, I don't think I can make a snapshot since I am on version 4.11.
Ironically, I'm trying to get good backups so I can blow away my system
and install version 5.4. :)
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Drew
