tar doesn't create directories with correct ownership.

[Deon George]

Package: busybox
Version: 0.48
Severity: normal

I am finding that tar is not creating directories with the correct
ownership (but it is creating files with the correct ownership)...

Here's some output.

[root at quokka /tmp]# tar --help

[root at quokka /tmp]# tar xzf quokka.pkg

[root at quokka /tmp]# ls -al home/admin/deon/

[root at quokka /tmp]# ls -al home/admin/deon/.ssh

-r--------   1 200      500          1203 Oct 11 22:54 authorized_keys2

As you can see, the directories in the quokka.pkg file (which is a tgz
file), the directories are owned 200:500, but when extracted, they are
owed by 0:0. (The files are correctly owned as 200:500)...
