tar is not extracting all content of the archive

It is weird i went thru the manual and was searching and trying, but this is what happen on Raspbian 10 with tar v.1.30:

list contents of the dir. i want to archive:
# ls -lht /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend

create archive:
tar -pcf /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend_backup.tar -C /home/hts/.hts/ tvheadend
remove original dir.
extract archive:
tar -pxf /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend_backup.tar
list dir. contents:
# ls -lht /home/hts/.hts/tvheadendQuote:

total 20K drwx------ 2 hts video 4.0K Mar 24 16:02 bouquet drwx------ 3 hts video 4.0K Mar 24 16:02 dvr drwx------ 3 hts video 4.0K Mar 24 16:02 input drwx------ 2 hts video 4.0K Mar 24 16:02 profile -rw------- 1 hts video 1.2K Mar 24 16:02 config

you can see that not all items was extracted. And the archive contains missing items likely:
# tar --list -f /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend_backup.tar|grep service_mapper

tvheadend/service_mapper/ tvheadend/service_mapper/config

i tried to assign -vv to the tar extract command, and it shown like extracting was done:

yet the item is not in the directory as shown above.
