Question Using a rar file on a suse linux

Hi,

I have this file in .rar format and need to use it on a suse linux system. I have transfered the file into the system and tried to unpack it using unrar command but i got this

Code:
l# unrar e Alarm.rar
UNRAR 3.51 freeware      Copyright (c) 1993-2005 Alexander Roshal
??? - the file header is corrupt
Extracting from Alarm.rar
??? - the file header is corrupt
No files to extract

Does this mean i have rar installed but my file is corrupt?
