Try instead:

tar cvfz myoarfile.tar.gz */*

when you're in the directory.

This under most circumstances avoids including directory entries into the
archive. At one stage the dearchiver was made to be a bit more tolerant
of the input like that but the code appears to have regressed a bit.

Occasionally you'll have oar files with deeper directory hierarchies and you'll need
to firstly produce a file list and get send that to tar directly to avoid
all the directories being included in the archive.

Chris.
