Hmm, I don't really know what could be the problem. My one thought is
that there might be a problem with python's gzip on your system. I've
written a little gzip script on your system, you can download it at:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/download.php?item_id=15006&item_file_id=3111
Once saved you can:
chmod 755 gzip-python
./gzip-python <file>
and it will work a bit like gzip, writing a compressed version of
<file> to <file>.gz. So I'd be interested to see if you can compress
files (including large files, like 4GB+ files) that decompress to the
correct original files.

I guess it depends on the size of the resource fork. I forget how big
resource forks are supposed to be, but there was a discussion a long
time ago when they were added, and whoever added them apparently
thought that they would be small enough to put in the mirror_metadata
file. Isn't there some quick way on Mac OS to tell how long a file's
resource fork is?
This resource fork error may also be a symptom of a corrupted
mirror_metadata file, so you may want to use --no-resource-forks when
testing, until the mirror_metadata problem gets fixed.
