This means that your version of cpio was built without large file
support. Try getting the sources and configuring
the package with the large file support (enabled by default for version
2.6 of cpio. For earlier versions you will need to set
CFLAGS=-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 before running configure).

Regards,
Sergey
