Thanks for clues.
The file is not empty. With uncompress I get an error uncompress file1.tar.Z file1.tar.Z: not in compressed format So mostly it is not compressed but still named as tar.Z

The only possibility I feel is the file is coorupt. maybe when it was compressed , it gave out an error which was missed.
If you used a log file while compressing the file, maybe you should check in the log.
