Strange. Next are (obvious??) suggestions:
- Does your tar have bz2 support (try bunzip2 and then use tar to extract the results),
- Is the path correct (/mnt/cdrom/stages),
- Are the files named correct.

Did you type the ` (single backquote) at the end of the first command??
$ for THIS in `ls /mnt/cdrom/stages/stage1-*.tar.bz2` <enter>
> do <enter>
> tar -xvjpf $THIS <enter>
> done <enter>
But I do not think this will solve your problem because you mention trying one file with the tar -xvjpf command and getting the same error.
