Looked back at the error message, and it looks to me like something 
isn't getting converted:

TarInfo is an object defined by the Python tarfile module

https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarinfo-objects

It makes sense that one of those wouldn't know about SCons-specific 
stuff.  The recipe on the wiki page contains a converter routine 
tarInfoToNode - seems like you must have set up a path through things 
where that isn't called. The emitter is *supposed* to handle that, not 
sure if this tool is broken or what the story is.

BTW, I was wrong, this isn't the tool I used, there are two of these 
things in the wiki, and my experience was with the other one:
