Oh well, was worth a shot. Since the file's sitting around still, you
should be able to attempt to decompress it with the stand-alone gzip
command; does that give the right result? Also, you should be able to
manually send that .gz file up to the server, which would be worth
confirming.

Are you certain that the content should be gzipped as a file? It's not
meant to be done as a transfer-level encoding?
