tar problem resolved

[tommy <iw...@openfox.com>]

Thanks Bill,
That was indeed the issue, gnu tar restored the contents properly
That bold message you refer to would have saved me hours

p.s. I'm not using Solaris or Mac/OS so if the message is restored it should
just state that gnu tar should be used imho
