This is not really adressing your original question, but
since you want to make life easy, did you consider to have
tarx as alias for 'tar -xf' instead of a shell-script?

Also I wonder if the version of tar you are using really
recognizes gzipped files and inserts the -z option even
if it is not invoked with it.
