Thanks for reporting. I think it's due to the fact we build the tarball in Python. I need to check the documentation.
I think the code responsible is here: https://github.com/openstack/ironic-inspector/blob/master/ironic_inspector/plugins/standard.py#L346-L348 We're just writing out the data, and not setting any tar headers.
And the file's actually being created here: https://github.com/openstack/ironic-python-agent/blob/master/ironic_python_agent/inspector.py#L262 Is the system time being set correctly on the machine being introspected?
Looks like this is a well-known gotcha with Python's tarfile module: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8648872/how-can-i-programmatically-create-a-tar-archive-of-nested-directories-and-files#comment10744694_8649029 Patch submitted to upstream here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/301225/
