-tar(1) on [BSD ] systems (including [MacOSX]) need an explicit dash (-) before the options . ([GNU] tar doesn't). Eg  
- $ tar xf file.tar (gnu)  
- $ tar -xf file.tar (bsd)

-Not all tars support the -z option for gzip(1) 'ped tar files. Pipe it instead. (Not all environments have the zcat(1) alias either)
