CPIO and Find Operation not permitted errors

Below is the oneliner that I am using to exclude all of "." hidden directories within the same directory.

Code:

cd ~

find . -depth \( -wholename \./\.\* \) -prune -o -print | cpio -oav > /media/caca/extract/full$date.cpio

it works fine but when I extract the files from the full$date.cpio archive it appears to have worked but gives me permission errors:

Code:

cd /media/caca/extract

cpio -ivd < full061411.cpio

It there a way to preserve the permission so that it does error like this?

What mount options is /media/caca mounted with, what file system is it on and are you copying out and in as the same user?

Thanks for the response:

What mount options is /media/caca mounted with?

Code:

//testbox/users/precious on /media/caca type cifs (rw,mand)

and here is my entry in fstab:

Code:

//testbox/users/precious /media/caca cifs credentials=/home/daman/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

with, what file system is it on?

Windows 2008 R2 using NTFS

Are you copying out and in as the same user?

YES, In my .smbcredential file I have to use my account name and password to access the share. This share is my home directory. This is an Ubuntu 10.04 box that I am mounting from to a Windows 2008 R2 domain controller

Also one more question:

What is the correct commandline substituion to add this as a variable using the Korn Shell?

Code:

full_backup_dir=$(find . -depth \( -wholename \./\.\* \) -prune -o -print | cpio -oav > /media/caca/extract/full$date.cpio)

and

Code:

$(find $home_dirs -mtime -1 | cpio -oa 2>/dev/null | ( cd $backup_dir && cpio -imd)

neither seem to work. ?

The only thing I can think of is something like CIFS UNIX extensions. I haven't got a box to test it with let alone W2K8 R2 tho, maybe somebody else has?..

The good news is that I am only testing it using my home directory for testing but when I perfect my script I will be running it from linux and backing up to a mounted ext3 external backup NAS. I am still curious what it maybe. Thanks for the response
