I have changed permissions for this file so that everyone can read, write and execute this file and that did not work.
chmod ugo+rwx /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/OPEN-ROX6.tar.bz2
chmod ugo+rwx /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/OPEN-ROX6.tar.bz2

file size looks fine and permissions were fine before you changed them.
provide the following output
sudo su -
cd /
tar jxvf /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/OPEN-ROX6.tar.bz2
(if this fails, provide this output also)
mkdir /root/tmp
cd /root/tmp
tar jxvf /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/OPEN-ROX6.tar.bz2
provide the following output
sudo su -
cd /
tar jxvf /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/OPEN-ROX6.tar.bz2
(if this fails, provide this output also)
mkdir /root/tmp
cd /root/tmp
tar jxvf /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/OPEN-ROX6.tar.bz2

sudo su - only works if you added the ALL=ALL line to /etc/sudoers
Last line of sudoers file
user ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
This is not needed though, it will work with "sudo gainroot" also
Last line of sudoers file
user ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
This is not needed though, it will work with "sudo gainroot" also

I found that when I switched to Openbox, the windows manager was missing. If I changed to boot to Openbox, then I experienced the fun reboot experience! (BTW - Just quickly go to Tools -> Hildon -> reboot to hildon and you're ok).
grep -fe | grep openbox returned no results, this confirmed my lack of windows manager.
Ran the recommended
sh -x /usr/bin/swm.sh
from SSH and found a bunch 'o errors, such as:
Make sure you install libxpm4
In the end, I believe I figured it out:
apt-get install --reinstall python2.5
Rebooted. Could have been the reinstall of python, it may have been the installation of libxpm4. Hope this helps anyone running into problems.

Couple of problems I've noticed:
1) Can't run some applications, like maemo-mapper. I get osso_initialize failed.
2) Skype doesn't appear to work. Gets a segmentation fault.
3) X Forwarded clients don't appear to properly respect the screen size. If I maximize, they extend much larger than the screen.
4) I would really like to get the new Mozilla browser working. Any suggestions?
BTW - X Forwarding is amazingly fast.
