Just to be clear, your shell is finding and running tar just fine (as you 
can confirm with "tar --help". Messages of the form "tar: blah blah blah" 
are from tar itself. If your shell couldn't find tar at all, you would get 
something like "bash: tar: command not found".

(Sorry for the munged headers.)
