I presume you wanted to test out a recently created tar kit.
I recommend that instead of extracting filename.tar with this:

    tar -xvf filename.tar

that you do the following:

    tar /extract/verbose/date=none filename.tar

so that the /date_policy does not get confused about the extracted
file or directory timestamps.
