This sounds like a strange way to extract a file from a tar archive.
Does the information passed in for the xml files contain the pathnames
or only the final file name? In the first case, you could try
to extract the file via the filepath; in the second case, you could
combine the directory with the filename and try that. If either succeeds,
then your version on "quintagroup.transmogrifier" seems buggy and
yoz could try a different one.
