scp/untar .tar file in parallel issue

Hi Guys,

I am facing a strange issue
while doing parallel (using & for background) scp/untar operation from my unix box to multiple unix boxes...
I am getting
tar : unexpected EOF in archive error
the code is as follows.,,,
Code:
for i in 10 
do
sh -c "scp <command> ; ssh tar -xf  <tar> -C <location>" &
done

Please help me get rid of this,
Also please comment on reliability of SCP as i read that the issue can be due to SCP?

The code is just a skeleton, i am sure the syntax is correct
