The file command does not recognize files created by the tgif tool.
My understanding is that tgif generates files the begin with the
string %TGIF followed by a version number.
In the lenny magic file /usr/share/file/magic the matching stanza is
0       string  %TGIF\ x                Tgif file version %s

This does not work as it will try to match against the string %TGIF x

I believe the match that was intended is more like the following.
0       string  %TGIF\                  Tgif file version
>6      string  x                       %s
