I'm being stupid!  Can someone please help?

I've got a BASH script with the following:

    CMD="zcat myfile | tar xf -"
    $CMD

This puts zcat's output to stdout, rather than piping it to tar like I want. Now I'm sure this is how it *should* work. :-( Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to get it to work like I want.

Thanks,
Larry
