Yup.

> tar -czf - Jira/ | ssh root at diamond cat - > /misc/Jira.tgz

That redirection to misc/Jira.tgz is being seen by the local shell,
you need to do something so that the remote shell sees the
redirection; quoting:

> tar -czf - Jira/ | ssh root at diamond 'cat - > /misc/Jira.tgz'

And of course you shouldn't be sshing as root, but that's for someone
else to pick up on ;)
