I have found a couple of threads on this but they don't have any explenation as to what is going wrong or how to fix it. I've been running:
[code]tar cvzf archive.tar.gz E* F* G* H* I*[code]
I have even run it to just archive one folder so I know it's not because the file is too large. I've also run this as root and the user that is owner of the files. Does anyone know what could be going wrong?

Could I delete a temp file or something possibly? If so where would I find that? Thanks
