I'd send STDOUT and STDERR to separate logs for brevity's sake. Something like...

If you want to have it brief - why the "v"?
Becuase then at least I might see what files were being processed when the tar stopped?
Tar shouldn't have stopped regardless of complaints about files that are unreadable or disappear. If you are sure it isn't completing try running it with 'strace' and look at the system errors when it dies.
Sounds reasonable. Had to lookup up strace.
So I would run:
starce -o /tmp/strace.log tar -cpvzO / --exclude-from=/home/not-file 2>/tmp/tarlog.err | ssh user@ipaddrs "cat > backup.tgz"
?
