I guess that the space in your directory name "Apache OpenOffice" is
the cause of all trouble. Rename that directory to something without
spaces and try again.

This check doesn't do anything besause $TARBALL is not defined. $TARNAME
is used everywhere else in the script. But that is not the cause of your
problem.
