    The "Connection refused" part is
    a classic firewall artifact. The rest is merely tar reporting errors as the
    connection error cascades back up through the function call chain that led
    to the connection request.

    My first thought looking at the
    message was "IP tables misconfiguration",
    but if you have a hardware router
    in the middle with its own firewall,
    the two hosts may never be seeing
    tar's connect requests.

    Good luck.
