Cause
Using Sun Solaris's built in tar utility can cause files with long paths to be cut off. E.g. confluence/WEB-INF/classes/com/atlassian/confluence/setup/atlassian-bundled-plugins.zip is considered a long path.
Similar issues are known to occur with the AIX version of zip.
Resolution
You need to use GNU tar when untarring your install file as described in Installing Confluence Standalone on Unix.
