when you have single file, it is usually task for compressor (xz, gzip..), not
archiver (tar):
$ gzip $bkpdir${hadoopdb}_mysqldb_$bkpday.sql

You haven't specified why tar failed, any guesses?
For example, if the '.sql' file doesn't exist, tar fails correctly for me. If
gzip is not executable, tar fails too.
