My guess is that the missing files are at the end of the archive, and
the archives are sometimes not getting through completely.  Maybe add
something to your script to send along an md5 hash to make sure the
received file is the same as the sent file.  The last place I would
suspect would be that a firewall is set up to examine and filter .tar.gz
files...
