This part looks like a typo:

+                                       if (fflush (tarfile) != 0)
+                                       {
+                                               fprintf(stderr, _("%s:
error flushing stdout: %s\n"),
+
strerror (errno));
+                                               disconnect_and_exit(1);
+                                       }

The error is in flushing the tarfile, not stdout, right?
