If you repeat this with /usr/bin/tar instead of /sw/bin/tar, do you get the same result?
Different result, I presume this means the unpacking worked:
It seems clear now that your /sw/bin/tar is rotten. I would suggest to remove it, "sudo mv /sw/bin/tar /sw/bin/tar_rotten", and then "fink rebuild tar". Maybe "fink reinstall gettext" for good measure (since we don't know where the problem comes from, a little voodoo may help :-) ).
