cpio error, "Cross-device link"

Ultra 10 SPARC; Solaris 8, 6/00

Hi, I'm trying to cpio a directory to a different mount point, but I get these "Cross-device link" errors messages for every file. The files seem to successfully get copied over, but I don't like to see the messages.

I'm doing:
find bill -print | cpio -pdlum /export/home/bob

Typical error message (for "hello.c", for instance):
cpio: Cannot link "bill/hello.c" and "/export/home/bob/bill/hello.c", errno 18, Cross-device link

Many thanks, "en avance."
