what happens when you do it without compression? As a test, try:
tar cf - Mail | tar tvf -
Then, if that works with no problems:
tar czf - Mail | tar tzvf -
If that works, the only thing left that I can think of is serious disk
problems... let me know if those commands report errors or not though...
