That command line is so long that your newsclient split it into three
lines of text. Guess what: that's a sign of trouble on the actual
command line, too. Don't use command lines significantly longer than
your screen is wide, or you'll run into all kinds of interesting
problems.

Is that the actual message? Or your own, possibly abridged
translation of it?
Anyway: it's probably a bad idea to tar these files with their complete,
absolute paths. Try
cd \test\toolkit
tar cvf /some/where/ctree.tar sbin/text.exe lib/test/test.ccc
demos/test/chapters/startup/test.cc
[the last as one long line]
And is that second file actually named with *three* c's in its
extension?
Or learn how to use a response file ('info kb hid features', or check
out the FAQ).
