[X-Unix] strange tar behavior

[Charles Howse]

Hi,
When I do
$ tar cvfz bin.tgz bin
tar finishes without error -
$ echo $?
0

But, when I do
$ tar --list --verbose --file=bin.tgz
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Read 2804 bytes from bin.tgz
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

However, I can use Finder to expand the tgz file, and it looks fine.

Anyone have an idea of what's going on?


Thanks,
Charles
