Joseph,

Most of these tools will not like the \r\n combination as they are ports 
from the friendly UNIX world.  You must have your directories mounted as 
text=binary.  You must use the cygnus supplied gzip and tar programs to 
unzip the file sets.  There has been much discussion about text=binary 
on the list, please check the mail archives pointer below.

Let me point you to:
