Yup.

Afio's compression flags work a little bit funny (especially if you want it
to use bzip2).

Try something like this:

 afio -i -k -x -P bzip2 -Q -d -Z -v root.0.20030706.afio-bz2

You can probably get them back if they were validly archived. I'm guessing
that the above problem is part of whats stopping you.

You might what to add the "--small" flag to bzip2 if you are running out of
memory.  (Add "-Q --small" to the afio command line)
