Howdy,

Sigh... do you already have tar in /usr/bin? See if it's found with

ls -alF /usr/bin/tar

(it should be a symbolic link to bsdtar).

If you don't have that command let us know. If you do have the command please add the line

export $PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH

just after the

bash

command and before the

umask

command and see if that helps.

Good Luck,
