gzip also can not understand the file , here is the error message :
gzip: blaxton.ca-20040908_103234.tar.tgz already has .tgz suffix --

Please run file on the file...
file blaxton.ca-20040908_103234.tar.tgz
and post the results back.
At this point, it isn't obvious what the file is.
It could, for example, be an uncompressed tar file, in which case
tar xf blaxton.ca-20040908_103234.tar.tgz
should untar it.
HTH,
James.
