have you noticed that i am _not_ using the '-'?
tar xvfj file.tar.bz2 <-

if you leave the '-' away then tar does not care
about the order of the parameters.

when you are using the dash before the arguments
than the 'f' has to be just before the filename.
tar -xvjf file.tar.bz2 <-

why this is the case i have not found out, perhaps
it is a features, or just a bug :)
