You didn't answer the question about permissions. You may need to log
on as an admin.

If those /Mac/..... files are the only ones that untar complained
about and it unpacked all the other files, then AFAIK you don't have a
problem -- that stuff is Macintosh-specific.

Otherwise I suggest you try another means of unpacking the archive. I
have downloaded the tgz file and unpacked it successfully with 7zip
(http://www.7-zip.org/) -- it should hack the tar.bz2 file also.

HTH,
