Here is a snippet (the tar actually executes in the middle of the sequence):

<telnet server="${server.name}" timeout="60">
     <read>ogin: </read>
     <write echo="false" string="${accutrack.user}"></write>
     <read>assword:</read>
     <write echo="false" string="${accutrack.pass}"></write>
     <read string=">"></read>
     <write string="cd ${accutrack.home}/${accutrack.applications}"/>
     <read timeout="300" string=">"></read>
     <write string="tar -xvf accutrack.war"/>
     <read timeout="600" string=">"></read>
     <write string="test.sh"/>
     <read timeout="300" string=">"></read>
     ...
</telnet>

When I nohup the tar through ant and tail nohup.out, I don't see the results
of the extraction. However, if I telnet into the box and tail nohup.out, I
see the results. Why would that be?

I usually remote deploy by using jar -xvf, never hit problems. But I do set
the prompt at the far end.

Are you making sure that you wait for a response after making the tar call?
the nohup hints implies you need to keep it running after the task
exits...if there isnt a <read> at the end the task exits without waiting for
tar to finish.
