CPIO does not work.... Please hellp!

[Rosti]

Greetings.
I am using this command to put our backup data to tape device:
cpio -ovcumdBa </mnt5/backuplist.par >$outputdevice

When I wont to bring the data back from the tape, I am using this command:
cpio -ivcmdluB </dev/rmt/0m usr/dcr/star/file.name

It looks that is does something during execution of this command, but then when it finishes, I cannot see any files!
It worked about a half year ago. Now it does not!
What it can be?
Thanks in advance!

try doing just a
cpio -itv < /dev/rmt/0m
and see what the filenames look like.
usr <> /usr <> ./usr

I did this:
cpio -itvcr < /dev/rmt/0m
Then I am recieving the following:
cpio: Out of phase; resynching.
cpio: Re-syncedafter skipping 694048 bytes
And then it repeats line after line, but with different ammount of bytes and then it looks like it shows some files, and then it repeats again. Is anything wrong with it?
