I had a new rolled roof install and it started to leak through one of the
vent pipes at the first rain. The installer came back and covered the
area
around the vent with a black substance (tar probably?). This worked fine
for
a year but last night it started leaking again.

I have no problem with recoating this area once a year, but wonder if
someone knows of a more permanent fix. I'm not calling back the installer
and he's lost my buisness for good.

Google for "flashing." Sheet metal is the permanent
fix to prevent weather gaps between the roof and vents and
chimneys etc.
