If your tar filename has special characters, you will have a problem....
redirect the output of ls to a file and see what you get.
ls > newfile

one more thing u need to use

Code:
tar -xvf <tar-file> to untar and tar -cvf <tar-name> <file> to tar the file....

Not having execute permission, does not matter.
You dont use gzip or gunzip for that, do you?
