Re: Tar problem

Is it possible that you are having uid/gid collision problems betweem 
the two machines? Note that even though usernames and group names may 
match up, that they will not equate to the same user unless the uids/gids
are the same. If they are not, it might do something like default
ownership to the current user (root?) or possibly the user that the
uid/gid translates to on the targer machine.
