OK. My mistake.
I had typed:

Code:

tar cvfz filename.tar.gz filename.ext

It complained of no file filename.tar.gz and created a tar file named z. It looks like f must be the last option. Every tar with gzip support that I have used before was fine with z being the last option whether creating, listing, or extracting from gzipped tar files.

I will delete my post.
