Use the 'j' option to tar instead of the 'z' option, i.e.
'tar jxvf filename.tar.bz2'. 

From the tar man page:

   -j, -I, --bzip
  filter  the archive through bzip2. Note: -I is dep-
  recated and may get a different meaning in the near
  future.

   -Z, --compress, --uncompress
  filter the archive through compress

   -z, --gzip, --ungzip
  filter the archive through gzip

It's another compression program called BZip.  Man bunzip to see all the
options.  Also, man tar to see if you can specify the compress/decompress
program, because you might be able to do it all in one pass with some
setting for tar.

bzip is a different type of compression. Try tar jxvf instead or bunzip2
