If you created a gzipped TAR archive and just named it wrong, then you should be able to change the extension.

To be absolutely certain though, I would create the KoboRoot.tgz file from scratch to make sure it's right. I don't know how the device will handle it if you give it a file in the wrong format. I know my Glo needed a factory reset when I gave it a file in the wrong format

That's bad, they should be completely independent. Each plugin file has all the files it needs to be fully independent. I'm pretty sure I know what it is though, I'll verify and post a new set of plugin files tonight sometime (I'm UTC-3).
