Did you have a space between "f" and "-", i.e.

	zcat poplog.tar.gz | tar xf -

After "f" the "-" plays the role of a file name for "tar" and means "use
the standard input".

You need to be far more specific about what went wrong, e.g. what error
message was produced, etc.

Otherwise, it is impossible to make suggestions, except by guessing, as
I've done.
