No, that's expected for now.

The error "ERROR Could not find file" can sporadically happen - especially if 
there are files with spaces or special characters (umlauts, etc.) in someones 
home directory or site directory.

That problem already existed in the original CMU back on the Cobalt's. I have 
some ideas about how to fix this, but it's not really *that* critical because 
those files (even if they have weird names) will be extracted nontheless. 
However, they may end up being root owned instead of owned by the user they 
initially belonged to.

The root cause of this issue is somewhere in the middle between CMU and the 
Perl modules (which are OS specific) that are being used for packing the 
tar.gz files.

The error "ERROR Cannot set ownership for file:" is another matter. It should 
be fixed in one of the next builds of CMU.

As it is right now the first file (and only that single file) extracted from 
every CMU tarball will not be chowned to the UID of the user that should own 
it. Instead it will be left as owned by root. But it will have the right GID.
