Use the 'j' option to tar instead of the 'z' option, i.e.
'tar jxvf <filename>.tar.bz2'.
>From the tar man page:
-j, -I, --bzip
filter the archive through bzip2. Note: -I is dep-
recated and may get a different meaning in the near
future.
-Z, --compress, --uncompress
filter the archive through compress
-z, --gzip, --ungzip
filter the archive through gzip
