Without knowing the unrar utility you are using, how old it is, whether
it supports old RAR versions or new RAR versions, and the version of the
RAR file, it's impossible to say why it isn't working.
Do you get an error message when you try to extract?
Thanks in

Possibly just broken? Try
tar -x --ignore-failed-read
