Whenever I do 

find / -newer myfile -cpio /dev/rct/0

It write files to the cartridge tape but always gives me a error message
"cannot stat". 

If I use 

find / -newer myfile -print | cpio -oB > /dev/rct/0

everything is fine.

According to the manual page of cpio, these two comand should be equivlent.
Anyone out there can tell me why I get the error message?

Thanks in advance.
