I don't see those errors using tar on Mac OS X Snow Leopard (I think the
standard one from Developer Tools).
$ tar --version
bsdtar 2.6.2 - libarchive 2.6.2
btw, this file was created by standard Python distutils and I think most people
will use pip to install nose. Marking as invalid but feel free to re-open if
you find something that could prevent installation or make installation extra
confusing.

I have this problem as well on Scientific Linux 5.5.
(env)[pdaq@i3live tar]$ tar xzf nose-1.1.2.tar.gz
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.dev'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.dev'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink'
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
(env)[pdaq@i3live tar]$ tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1
(env)[pdaq@i3live tar]$
Since the returned error code is nonzero, this breaks various install scripts.
I am running in a context where PIP / pypi are not directly available (this is
on a machine with limited internet accessibility), so this has real
consequences. Thanks!

This is a result of using BSD tar rather than GNU tar to create the tar file.
Please repackage the tarball with GNU tar by building the dist on Linux.
