Check around in your root directory or sub directories.
It is possible that it has worked but just not put it in the right place.

Another thing to try is make the things that you are overwriting CHMOD 777.

Let us know how it goes.

Same experience for me - no restore and loads of "Array to string conversion" with error reporting all.  I am using PHP 5.2.2
I tried a slightly newer version of tar but same problem.  Searched net & found this: http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=23 which is essentially the same problem.  Looking at the Tar code I decided to change the reported error line that read:

if (substr($p_file_list[$i], -1) == '/') {

to read (using a similar approach as the pear bug solution)

if (is_string($p_file_list[$i]) && (substr((string)$p_file_list[$i], -1) == '/')) {

I also changed the backup.php line in DoRestore from

$tar->extractList($arr) or die ("Could not extract files!");
to
$tar->extractModify("./restores","") or die ("Could not extract files!");

This successfully restored my files into my /restores directory

Might not be what you want and apologies if it's not quite the best way of doing things.  Thought I would let you know anyway.

on tar.php ~1435 line

for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($p_file_list); $i++) {

          // ----- Look if it is a directory
          if (substr($p_file_list[$i]['filename'], -1) == '/') {

            // ----- Look if the directory is in the filename path

            if ((strlen($v_header['filename']) > strlen($p_file_list[$i]['filename']))

                && (substr($v_header['filename'], 0, strlen($p_file_list[$i]['filename']))

                    == $p_file_list[$i]['filename'])) {

              $v_extract_file = TRUE;

              break;

            }

          }
