New submission from Nicholas Patterson <nicholas_patter...@agilent.com>:
Used the TarFile object to create a bzip2 compressed tar file (seems to
have worked fine). Then used the extractall method to restore the
archive in a new location. All the files appear to have the same
permissions and owner:group as before, but most of the directories
('state' is only exception) have different permissions and the
owner:group are set to the UID that was running the script in this case
root:root.
