Unable to create tar using ANT - linux

Question

I am trying to create tar and exclude file from directory roopendra
but its not seems to work. When I am trying to untar file I am getting error gzip: stdin: not in gzip format. my file exclude also not working. After running build.xml its creating tar but when I am trying to untar as below. I am using Ant version 1.9.3
Command :
$ tar -xvzf projecttar.tar.gz
Getting Error :
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
build.xml :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="testdir" default="all_task" basedir=".">
<property name="src" value="src"/>
<property name="build" value="build"/>
<property name="lib" value="lib"/>
<property name="project.dir" value="${project}/testdir" />
<target name="all_task">
<antcall target="create_directory"/>
<antcall target="create_tar"/>
</target>
<target name="create_directory">
<mkdir dir="${dist}" />
<echo message=" ${dist} directory created successfully" />
</target>
<target name="create_tar">
<tar destfile="${project}/build/projecttar.tar.gz" compression="gzip"
basedir="${project.dir}"
excludes="${project.dir}/roopendra/**"/>
</target>
</project>
Build Command :-
ant -buildfile build.xml -Ddist=/home/pathto/roop/projectRv/ -Dproject=/home/pathto/roop/
Output :-
Buildfile: /opt/apache-ant-1.9.3/build.xml
all_task:

[echo] /home/pathto/roop/projectRv/ directory created successfully
create_tar:

I have already tried :
Ant not creating tar files
After run
ant -v

Answer 1

Finally, I have got solution here http://www.donaldsimpson.co.uk/?p=122 . file permissions were not being preserved when Taring up a build with Ant
<target name="create_tar">
<tar destfile="${project}/build/projecttar.tar.gz" basedir="${project.dir}" longfile="gnu" compression="gzip">
<tarfileset dir="${project}/build/" filemode="755">
<include name="**/*roopendra/*.sh" />
</tarfileset>
</tar>
</target>
