tar issues: restoring files to a different directory

Question:

ENV: AIX 3.2.5  
     TAPE 9trak

DESC:  Customer used tar -cvdpf to backup the /usr/jerrico/data filesystem.
       They would now like to restore this to /usr/test_jerrico/data on
       another machine.  Is this possible with tar, if so what is
       the proper command and proceudre to use.

Response:  
         Yes that is possible.
 ACTIONS:

   pax -s /jerrico/test_jerrico/ -rvf /dev/rmt1
   We got a I/O Error.

   He does not remember the block size of the tape.

   tctl -b0 -Bnf /dev/rmt1 read | pax -s/jerrico/test_jerrico/ -rvf- -pmop
