>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
