Executing shell commands fails on Mac

First of all in UNIX shell, 'pax' command is used for compression and decompression, as an alternative to 'tar' or 'cpio'.

Now the command you have written seems to be decompressing the file at the end of command line and recompressing with cpio supported format, which should be like:

Pax -wr -z -x cpio  [destination file] <<< [source file]

For better understanding compression and decompression with 'pax' please refer Using pax on Mac.
