Interesting. I wonder whether it tried to tar that
file inside itself. Might lead to weirdness, like
a completely full disc.
What does

$ df

show?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "hidden".
What does

$ ls -l /disk1/data/xyz.tar

show for the permissions? You say you can't see the file
from a Windows machine. How about other files in that
directory? There is a myriad of reasons "sharing" files
may not work.
