   it seems like its executing the gunzip but not untarring the file..

  Can this be done using ssh?

Extract on localhost:
ssh x.x.x.x gunzip -c /tmp/test2.tar.gz | tar -xf -

Extract on remote server:
ssh x.x.x.x "gunzip -c /tmp/test2.tar.gz | tar -xf -"

This doesn't work. It doesn't even do the first step which is gunzip
