Please try v30b of plugin/tar.vim, which you can get from my website: http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#TAR . This version won't actually solve your problem, but it might make it possible to do so. I suspect that the tar command used: tar --delete -f ... doesn't work on your mac. So I've made an option (a global variable, really): g:tar_delfile, that by default is "--delete -f". If you can find a mac equivalent, you can put let g:tar_delfile="..." in your .vimrc. Please let me know if you find something that works. What it does is delete a file from the tar archive. You already have the g:tar_writeoptions variable, which by default has the value "uf", and causes tar to be updated with a given file. You may need to find a mac-ish substitute for that, too.
