tar -cvf ../root.tar.gz *  not  . 

that sohould do the trik - the problem is that there is no . available while unpacking 
root.tar.gz so it fails when packed to ./ . If you compar the output from the original 
root.tar.gz to yours you will see the one shows

bin/  

the other

./bin/ (thats the problem)
