You need a - after the f options to represent stdin/stdout and some appropriate quoting.
ssh root@machineB 'tar cvf - /' |tar xvf -
(and you probably want to use --one-file-system or some excludes to avoid /proc and any NFS/cdrom mounts).
But, I'd recommend: rsync -essh machineB:/ . instead (also per filesystem with --one-file-system) - especially if you want to repeat it or restart after interruption.
