Do not use "/some/file" - Although GNUtar (the version on CentOS) will
strip off the leading / on extraction, it's a bad habit to get into
and _will_ bite you in the foot if you ever use a different version of tar.
Also, depending, a "p" flag on extraction might be useful.
Personally I also "cd" rather than -C on extraction. So
cd /source/directory
tar cf - . | ssh RemoteHost "cd /dest/directory && tar xfp - "
