Thanks to Dr. Thomas Blinn, Mandell Degerness and Alan nabeth the
consensus is:
The files should all be for named pipe interprocess communication. They
are only there to allow processes to comunication between each other.
They should be recreated when the host process executes. Thanks

Subject: Gtar issue
As part of a unix backup script I am writing for multiple versions of
Tru64 including 4.0d, 4.0g, 4.0f I have come accross an error while
attempting to execute gtar on a filesystem. Gtar version 1.13.17. When
executing a gtar -cvpf <filename> on the root filesystem. I receive
several error messages as follows. Should I be concerned, the job
completes and the file seems intact however I need to be sure exactly
what is happening. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks
