A silly question about tar

[Adam Porter <adam@alphapapa.net>]

I've read the man page, googled this list and the rest of the Net, but I
still can't figure out why this doesn't work:

$ tar xjf *.tar.bz2
tar: beryl-core-0.2.0.tar.bz2: Not found in archive
tar: beryl-manager-0.2.0.tar.bz2: Not found in archive
tar: beryl-plugins-0.2.0.tar.bz2: Not found in archive
tar: beryl-plugins-unsupported-0.2.0.tar.bz2: Not found in archive
tar: beryl-settings-0.2.0.tar.bz2: Not found in archive
tar: beryl-settings-bindings-0.2.0.tar.bz2: Not found in archive
tar: beryl-settings-simple-0.2.0.tar.bz2: Not found in archive
tar: emerald-0.2.0.tar.bz2: Not found in archive
tar: emerald-themes-0.2.0.tar.bz2: Not found in archive
tar: heliodor-0.2.0.tar.bz2: Not found in archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Not only did it completely fail, but it skipped the first file in the
directory, aquamarine-0.2.0.tar.bz2.  But if I run the same command on a
single file instead of a wildcard, it works fine.

Am I doing something wrong?  Why can't tar handle a wildcard list like that?
