How have you verified this?  Please note that for the purpose of this
check 'tar' considers the file to have changed if any of the metadata
of the file has changed.  For example, if you change the file's ownership,
or permissions, or create a hard link to the file while it's being dumped,
that counts as a change.

You could do an strace of the 'tar' and see what system calls it's doing.
"man strace" will tell you more about strace.
