That should not be the case here, since compilelog.txt is created by the xenofarm.sh script, which should have terminated by the time tar is called.
If I remember correctly, compilelog.txt is stdout for sections of the script. It could be that some backgrounded script still holds it open.

Maybe because stdout/stderr from tar is sent to the file it is trying to tar up?

Hm, why would the file change while being read? It's not running two xenofarms at the same time or something (it shouldn't happen anyway, iirc, but...).
Or is tar just buggy?
