yea this is what also tar does. i.e. if you compress /home/users/you/dir/ you will have home/users/you/dir unpacking it to / is the receiver choice. you can't force him to unpack on / UPDATE: ok, it looks like you can, on tar you must use -P, and it won't unpack to / if you don't also use -P when unpack
