Thanks folks for all the help. --strip-componets=1 helped with the tar, but I think it is done by default.
What turned out to be the root cause of my problem was that the .tgz I created the first time had one extra level of directory, and it was cached by EB in some tmp directory. Even after I placed a new tgz as defined in source_urls, EB did not copy the new file to its build cache. After manually deleting it things worked as expected. Is there a way to force a copy of the .tgz? would "cleanupoldbuild" remove the cache and thus always get a new .tgz? Maybe I should file a bug on this issue? Much thanks again!
