Thanks Mike.
A native win32 tar program sounds good:  
I tried some compression programs initially and was unsure if they were
using 'tar' as a generic term for the operation or that it was
compatable with gnu tar. One required a reboot after use. 

As to manual intervention I meant that the only way I could see to make
it go all the way through without an error was to remove or edit the
offending file.  This seems to happen to files with urls in them on
windoze as well.

Thanks for your input. 
Any recommendations on native win32 tar programs would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Daniel.
