Full Discussion: Tar change ownership after untar

I am trying the following but that doesn't work.
The requirement is to change the file permissions at destination after un-tarring the file since I am using jumpbox to place the tar file from source to destination, it is not accessible directly through ssh.
The only option i could see is after untar the file, just change the permissions there.

I tired

Code:
tar -Pcvf - $filename |ssh -p222 USER@$JUMPBOX "ssh USER@$DESThost \" tar -Pxvf -\"" >> $LOG.$NEW_FETCH.log

to

Code:
tar -Pcvf - $filename |ssh -p222 USER@$JUMPBOX "ssh USER@$DESThost \" tar -Pxvf - chmod 666 -\"" >> $LOG.$NEW_FETCH.log

The command shows no error but i do not see the file at destination at all

Output with chmod command
Code:
a /tmp/a 1K
tar: blocksize = 4

       -d, --decrypt
	      Decrypt data.

       -c, --symmetric
	      Encrypt  with  a	symmetric  cipher  using  a  passphrase.   The	default symmetric cipher used is CAST5, but may be chosen with the
	      --cipher-algo option to gpg(1).

       -s, --sign
	      Make a signature. See gpg(1).

       -r, --recipient USER
	      Encrypt for user id USER. See gpg(1).

DIAGNOSTICS

	      gpg-zip --encrypt --output test1 --gpg-args  -r Bob"" mydocs

       List the contents of archive test1:
