Wonderful. I like success reports :-)

That's why I asked you what "DUMP" program you have specified in the
dumptype for /usr, dump or tar. It seems that you use tar, not dump.

Of course ;-)
First, you typed the wrong file name: 202.85.165.88._operator, instead
of 202.85.165.88._operator_usr.20001215.0.
Second, you must skip the first 32K, which is the file header, then pipe
the rest to gzip (if you used compression) and then to tar. Try
dd if=202.85.165.88._operator_usr.20001215.0 ibs=32k obs=32k skip=1 |
gzip -dc | tar -xvf -
(don't forget the "-" after "-xvf")
This should work fine.
