cpio with "-0" just means to use null separation for the filename list
rather than newline separation.

Current FreeBSD cpio seems to support -0, I just checked.


You could use type "rsync", if you have rsync 2.5.6.

I could modify flexbackup to use pax for the "copy" type, it is supposed to
be command line portable *everywhere*.  Do you have pax on OS X?

If not I may switch that "copy" back to newline-separated cpio's, thats a
trivial change.
