I'm not sure we have enough detail to know exactly what may have happened; "File name not allowed" means at least two things off the top of my head (which isn't that good of one, BTW) : Either you weren't UID zero at the time, or your package tools are old enough that they don't know what to do with *tbz files --- I can't remember at what point the Project changed, but an older pkg_add looked for *gz, IIRC ....
