What was you tar syntax? Did you tar a directory from just above it? If not,
try the following:
tar -cvpf filename.tar directoryname
-c = create
-v = verbose
-p = preserve (permissions)
-f = filename (the filename must come immediately after the 'f' or the next
argument becomes the filename)
Does this help? Or was this what you had done?
