I had thought it might be because you were leaving off the f, so it was trying to read from a tape drive. You might want to look at the man page for tar, (or the info pages), and try to determine when it tries to read from a tape device. You might try seeing if there is something set in your environment that is setting the tape drive to as0 -- it should be default be sa0. You could also try using the long form of the command -- something like tar --extract --file=zzz.tar if I remember correctly....
