Hi,

I also get this error, and I do think this is a bug. file-roller
shouldn't even be trying to change the owner of the extracted files when
it's not running as root. In addition, the same archive extracts
correctly if you run tar directly.

The fix for this bug was committed upstream here:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/file-roller/commit/?h=gnome-3-10&id=80c36ae3c84dce8716eb5b74ddb8c73da5824f13

And the relevant bug report is here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709932
