Everything works up to the creating the .tar file.

The contents of the file does not contain the key.db or the msgstore.db files anymore. I tried it with the latest 2.18.46

I ended up rooting an old phone and restored Whatsapp to that. All the files were there. Pity the deleted messages are not available

This post https://github.com/EliteAndroidApps/WhatsApp-Key-DB-Extractor/issues/10#issuecomment-386794491 offers a workaround if you can get hold of a spare Android 6 device to extract the key.
