if i'm not mistaken (though usually i am ;) ) the command line you have
there is making tar look for the tarfile in a location on a SCSI tape
drive, where it looks by default.  Use tar -xvf <tarfile> and that should
do the trick.  The -f option specifies tar to look for a file rather than
from a tape drive.
