tar and AppleScript applications

OK,

I'm doing something dumb here. I've written a little AppleScript and
saved it as an Application. It works fine on my box but when I tar it up
for
distribution and then untar it to test it out I get a blank icon even
though the
permissions and the file itself are identical. I don't get it... How
does OS X
know the difference??

Confused and needing help....
