How Can I Clean Up Files That Don't Exist?

I used the following tar command to copy a file hierarchy:
tar cfp - -C /home . | tar xfpv - .
However when I hit user maildirs, many files get copied but I also get a
lot of errors such as these:
./<user>/Maildir/.Trash/cur/1113462063.17964_0.blacklamb.mykitchentable.net:2,S
tar:
./<user>/Maildir/.Trash/cur/1113462063.17964_0.blacklamb.mykitchentable.net\:2,S:
Cannot open: No such file or directory
I use Courier IMAP 4.0.1,1 installed from ports if it makes any
difference. As far as I can tell, IMAP is working just fine. Clients
connect, get their messages, etc.
Any ideas on why there are so many files that don't exist? And what is
a good way to clean up my disk?
Thanks,
Drew
