It should be a .tar.gz actually.

This looks like the archive is created using GNU tar and your tar is incompatible. Either you need gnutar to unpack it (at least thats what the package is called on Solaris - don't know about AIX) or you can just download the zip file and unpack that using the unzip or jar command.

If you have gnutar installed you can simply unpack it using

gnutar xzf scala-2.8.0.final.tar.gz
