Uhhhhhhh......

This sounds like you used some kind of unsit program on this file
while it was still on the Unix machine.

Have you tried just porting the .sit file into your Mac,
and then using the Stuffit program on your Mac to decode it?

And yes, .sit does indicate that you are dealing with a Stuffit file,
and it should be unpacked with the most recent working version of Stuffit
you can get your hands on.
