Ok then, could you try with

cmake -E tar zcvf data.tgz ./usr

instead.

I think I've seen some bug like this in the past I'll check the
mailing list archive
and the CMake bug tracker.

Found it: http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=8790
not really the same issue but who knows...

I'll try to get my hand on an Ubuntu 12.04 box to check whether if I
can reproduce the problem.

This deserve a bug report to Ubuntu
https://launchpad.net/cmake
and may be we will get one for CMake when the ubuntu package
maintainer get your report.
