thanks rizitis for spotting the directory permissions. you are correct 
in that i did not see it, running as root I had no issues.

  I'm doing dev via kate on windows to a samba share which is also 
mounted on my dev machine (slackware) which makes permissions 777 which 
is why I have a less simple tar.gz generation in my integration script 
for this project.

I'll sort that out, and resubmit.

... a few minutes later.....

well the directory now has the correct permissions when testing by tar 
-xzf elilong.tar.gz as a regular user
tar -xzf /mnt/smb1/slackware/software/elilongdev/sbo/elilong.tar.gz
ls -l |grep elilong
drwxr-xr-x 2 tim users   4096 Jun  1 23:47 elilong/
ls -l elilong/
total 20
-rw-r--r-- 1 tim users  424 Jun  1 22:32 README
