I start to wonder why this is done now-a-days.  They are cheap and
convienent for many things.  Although, having them may create security
problems for some.  But I'm babling :-)

I believe the utility is called "star".  Try cd'ing to /target and running
"star base2_0.tgz" from tty2.  Maybe you can get a better error message
than "File Error".  I.e. this won't fix your problem, but let us know what
the problem is.

HTH,
