Summary of dd problem

thanks to Russ Poffenberger  ,Casper Dik, who show me the command syntax and fix the problem.
Answer: dd should specify larger block size which is 10k instead of 1k 
so the working command is
localsystem# dd if=/dev/rmt/1hb ibs=10k | rsh 10.17.131.79 "(cd
/export/home/test; gtar -xvzf -)"


below is my question:

my purpose is to read backup tape on remote system
localsystem# dd if=/dev/rmt/1hb ibs=1024 | rsh 10.17.131.79 "(cd
/export/home/test; gtar -tvzf -)"
read: Not enough space
0+0 records in
0+0 records out

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
gtar: Child returned status 1
gtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

then I took it away "z" decompress in gtar and use it locally
# dd if=/dev/rmt/1hb ibs=1024 |gtar -tvf -
read: Not enough space
0+0 records in
0+0 records out

why is "not enough space
I have 9GB space on both systems.

thanks
