It's not immediately obvious from the script what the directory and file structure you are working with looks like. Based on the first line, it looks like you have a number of directories in /tarfiles, each directory can contain one of more tar files which you immediately delete.
Next, you are looking for tar gz files that are in the /tarfiles directory and are named after each subdirectory, and then moving them into that subdirectory, it looks like there could be more than one per directory.
Once all that's done, you are unzipping the tar gzs, and then untaring them.
If all that is true, then we can proceed.
Each of the files returned by your for loop will already have the right directory included in it, you are then prepending the directory name again. You'd end up with something like /tarfiles/abcd/abcd/abcd-foo.tar when you actually want /tarfiles/abcd/abcd-foo.tar - thus tar saying it can't find the file.
If that's indeed what's happening, just remove the $dir part of the input file being passed to tar.

virt-tar-out
virt-tar-out(1) Virtualization Support virt-tar-out(1)
NAME
virt-tar-out - Pack a virtual machine disk image directory into a tarball.
SYNOPSIS
virt-tar-out -a disk.img /dir files.tar
virt-tar-out -d domain /dir files.tar
virt-tar-out -d domain /dir - | gzip --best > files.tar.gz
DESCRIPTION
"virt-tar-out" packs a virtual machine disk image directory into a tarball.
The first parameter is the absolute path of the virtual machine directory. The second parameter is the tar file to write. Use "-" to
write to standard output.
EXAMPLES
Download the home directories from a guest:
virt-tar-out -d MyGuest /home - | gzip --best > homes.tar.gz
JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH
This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "tar-out" command. For anything more complex than a trivial
copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.
OPTIONS
Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options.
SEE ALSO
guestfish(1), virt-cat(1), virt-copy-in(1), virt-copy-out(1), virt-edit(1), virt-tar-in(1), <http://libguestfs.org/>.
