>This is working now. I had to add execute permission to the underlying

Indeed, some of those directories are in the tar file like:

  dr--r--r--   0 3        0 Aug 21 07:30:54 2000 TIVsmChsm/

Additionally, Tivoli's unpacking instructions are incorrect...


Tivoli:

Please correct the README.FTP files for all tar-based distributions.
Those files currently tell the customer:

  3) Unpack the the file IP22087.tar with the command:

     tar -xf IP22087.tar

This results in the files receiving the invoker's Umask setting
rather than the permissions settings of the original files.
Your instructions should say to use the -p option of the tar
command, to restore fields to their original modes, ignoring
the present umask.  The tar command should thus look like:

     tar -xpf IP22087.tar
