It says it's a wrapper for tar. What did you think it was going to do?

hfstar + freetar - fizik

Use hfstar instead of standard tar - it preserves the resource fork. Use Freetar as a GUI - it allows to specify Unix executable (hfstar) in Prefs.

Even though it has been said, I just have to point out . . . it is a wrapper for tar, which, ah, does not preserve extended file attributes. Which is exactly why you might want to use tar in the first place.
