Hmm, works for me:

What makes you think so?  It’s a bzip2-compressed nar:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ wget -O tgz http://hydra.gnu.org/nar/gryg2h8lp3s8cc4zgxw14yn7d0wgc9lq-tzdata2013d.tar.gz

[...]

$ file tgz
tgz: bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k

$ bunzip2 < tgz > nar

$ grep nix-archive nar
Binary file nar matches

$ guile -c '(use-modules (guix nar)) (call-with-input-file "nar" (lambda (p) (restore-file p ",,out")))'

$ file ,,out
,,out: POSIX tar archive (GNU)

$ guix hash ,,out
08jzd8y2xkgd89wqrv3835pqr48yjabaczxr2rmg42zaykr11an0
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Could it be that there was a transient networking failure or something?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
