I have had my share of g[un]zip and tar problems; but, have eliminated
them entirely by using *only* the processes used by D[CD] itself:
ctar LIST | gzip > LRP
gunzip -c LRP | tar -x
Of course, these instances of ctar, gunzip, gzip & tar are always
exactly those included with D[CD].

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we
think we know. The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
