Gurus,

It was my typo error (empty head), still I wasn't
disappointed by sending it to the list because you get
different feedbacks/ways of doing things. Thanks goes
to :
Lumpkin, Buddy
David Foster
Robert L. Harris
Matthew Stier
ddunham@tsg.taos.com
JULIAN, JOHN C (AIT)
Christian Iseli

for their valuable time. I am going to avid using cat
as Darren suggested below.
cpio -ocv < /tmp/myfiles.txt | gzip -c >
/mydir/myfile.cpio.gz

Thanks
Uman
