Use the adb export method instead (you are asked for the export method every time you run the script). The tar export method doesn't work on all devices, and I can't do anything about it.

Confirmed. ADB finally worked. .

It would be possible to detect the tar failure and try again with adb. Quite a bit of work though I guess?

Thanks very much for the script and for helping with this.
