What did "ls -l mydir" look like before you did "rm mydir"?  Try:

cd /home
tar -cpvz -f myfile.tar.gz /home/mydir/

and then to restore:

mkdir /home/tmp
cd /home/tmp
tar /home/xfvz myfile.tar.gz

What happens?  The "v" flag will send output to the screen so you can see what's
happening and tell us.  BTW, this thread is better suited for the Cobalt Users
list.
