If you backup with tar --xattrs, the owner should be preserved. My tar 
on RHEL6 does. E. g.:

-rwxrwx--- root/Administrators     20 2012-10-18 10:05 
2013-05-27_20-55-01/usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/muc.medizinische-genetik.de/scripts/Default 
User.V2/ntuser.ini


Did you unpacked the tar.gz? Or did you looked inside with something 
that shows the file listing like 'less'?
