I highly recommend that you read the man page for tar and understand
the command you issued.
Never execute things as root that you do not understand...
At least that is my private philosophy.

I do not speak the language that you have set for messages on your
computer, but I guess that tar can not find the file 
~/sources/openmoko-XYZ-arm-linux-gnueabi-toolchain.tar.bz2

Hint:
option f is followed by the file that tar should process.
set this to the location of the tool chain archive you downloaded
