What does it mean when tar displays message "file changed as
we read it"? Is anything wrong? BTW All instances involved
jpg files.

Are you by any chance adding all files in a folder to a tarball

inside the same folder?
This will cause this message to be shown, since such a command will try
to add the created tarball to itself.
An example:
tar czvf mytar .
This will add all files in the folder to "mytar", but since mytar also
is created in the same folder, eventually it will come to that file,
and when does, it will try to be added to itself.
A solution is to work on the archive one folder up from the files you
want to tar:
tar czvf archive myfolder
or
tar cvzf ../archive .
