dfork? That's a new one to me. What's it do, return the data fork of a
flattened Mac file?

In any case, two points:

    1) did you ftp this file to best? Did you make sure to do it in
       binary mode?

    2) you don't need the explicit gzip step. for a tar that supports
       it (like gnutar) just do tar xvzf file.tgz The tar on best
       supports the -z option.
