No, it does not ignore it. The file contains `kdebase-3.5.10/', which
instructs tar to extract this directory, and everything it contains.
Either remove `kdebase-3.5.10/' from `tmpfile', or use the
--no-recursion option before -T, e.g.:

  tar -xvj --no-recursion -T tmpfile <kdebase3/kdebase-3.5.10.tar.bz2
