We ran into the same tar problem. I run Fedora linux on my laptop and did something like:
cd /media/.... tar cf ~/sas92.ds01.tar ./ and ftp'ed that to z/os on the omvs side. Using pax to unpackage the archive resulted in the error. I then installed pax on my laptop and that did the trick. But, as others mentioned, you have to have an x11 server running on your workstation and a fairly recent level of java on z/os. You also need sufficient memory size and cpu time for your installation process plus a lot of disk space.
