ziped tarball .tgz

[littleguru]

here is the error message i get when I want to do tar command :
# tar -zxvf blaxton.ca-20040908_103234.tar.tgz
 
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

gzip also can not understand the file , here is the error message :
gzip: blaxton.ca-20040908_103234.tar.tgz already has .tgz suffix -- 
unchanged

i dont know if I can send the file or not , I am going to send through 
another email ,
don't want to miss  this one .

thanks
