Try to do a table of contents
  gtar tvf < unzippedfile


Worked fine.


If that works, try the extraction you need with gtar.


Darn.  Here come the errors again:

amanda:/u10# tar -x -f sharedata.unzipped ./Subcontracts/*
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I should have thought that your `gtar tvf' above caught these same errors. Are `tar' and `gtar' different versions by any chance? Could you try your extraction with gtar?
