The version of tar you use on the local mashine, and the
one installed on the remote machine disagree on the location of rmt
utility.  It's default location changed in version 1.14.  Here is
what the file NEWS states on this subject:

  * By default tar searches "rmt" utility in "$prefix/libexec/rmt",
  which is consistent with the location where the version of "rmt"
  included in the package is installed.  Previous versions of tar
  used "/etc/rmt".  To install "rmt" to its traditional location,
  run configure with option --libexecdir=/etc.  Otherwise, if you
  already have rmt installed and wish to use it, instead of the
  shipped in version, set the variable DEFAULT_RMT_COMMAND to
  the full path name of the utility, e.g., ./configure
  DEFAULT_RMT_COMMAND=/etc/rmt.

  Notice also that the full path name of the "rmt" utility to
  use can be set at runtime, by giving option --rmt-command to
  tar.

This is the right solution.

This link must be made on the remote mashine.
