something like:
tar cvyf archive.tar.bz2 domain_dir/
to untar it
tar xvyf archive.tar.bz2
flag v is verbose, you don't need that in script.

So If I use this option when I untar the way you show it. Will it keep the same permissions and such when I untar it on the new server. I just hate having to re chmod all the files and such on my scripts

Because once I tar the domain I will use wget and want to untar it and have all the same permissions in such already in place. I use the same file structure and such on both servers. So long as the permissions are the same when I untar I should be fine once I update my mysql DB's.
