Feb 25, 2013 at 20:43 comment added user5117 I guess it depends what kind of answer you want. J.C. Ottem's answer is the correct one, but more simplemindedly, and geometrically, if Z is smooth: Think of the exceptional divisor E as the projectivised normal bundle of Z in X. The differential of the map corresponding to $g \in G$ gives a linear aut. of the normal bundle, which then descends to E.

Feb 25, 2013 at 20:23 comment added Andrew Stout isn't a blow-up a proper birational morphism? meaning that on $\bar{X} - \pi^{-1}(Z)$ the group action must be induced canonically via the isomorphism $\bar{X} - \pi^{-1}(Z) \cong X $. Thus, you could extend by acting on fibers in $Z$ $g\pi^{-1}(z) = \pi^{-1}(gz)$ for all $g\in G$ and all $Z\in Z$. well, this is a start anyway.
Feb 25, 2013 at 20:21 comment added J.C. Ottem Perhaps you can use the fact that $G$ acts on the Rees algebra $R(I)=\bigoplus_{m\ge 0}I_Z^m$ and that $\tilde{X}=Proj R(I)$..
