Judging by the output, it looks like the quoting is not recognized, rather
than the pipe command.  Besides, isn't that pipe format supposed to be
used for *output* files, not input ones (as you attempted)?  Also, your
tar command parameters are wrong (or, at least, won't do what you
obviously intended).
