Looks like someone's mucked the extensions. It _might_ be a tar file of a tar
file, but most uncommon.

Use file(1) to check the file type:

	% file foo.tar
	foo.tar: GNU tar archive

If it's a tar file, unpack it:

	% mkdir unpackdir
	% cd unpackdir
	% tar xvf ../foo.tar

then repeat the process for whatever gets unpacked of it's not what
you expected.

Cheers,
