gtar limitations? (Gen. unix specific)

Greetings,,
Doing on a diff for backup verification.
Backup done by collecting files using gfind:
gfind /fsystem -type f -xdev >> $bckupfile
then using gtar to back them up:
gtar -c --files-from $bckupfile -f $bkupdevice >
/dev/null

Problems:
1. File
usr2/users/roberts/TST_BLENDER/GOITST/360X180/src/temp_3049/goisst_360x180_1930_to_1994_or_climatology.f


gets truncated in tape (verified thru tar tvf) to:
usr2/users/roberts/TST_BLENDER/GOITST/360X180/src/temp_
3049/goisst_360x180_1930_to_1994_or_climatolo
[....note it did not finish the gy.f part..]
2. File
usr0/users/romano/autosave/#\!usr0\!users\!romano\!.kde\!share\!icons\!sheet#
Causes gtar to abort backup, not even skipping to next
file...
(i will have to redirect gtar output to a file to see
actual messages)


Question:
Is this is limitation issue...?
How can I overcome these two problems?
Apparently file [2]above is created automatically by
kde!

_Thanks in advance
_Richard
