I'm going to guess that cpio is your problem.  You might want to add a
"-H newc" to your cpio command line.  Otherwise use tar as I believe it
will handle files over 2GB.

Alternatively, you can tell vmware to split its disks into two gig
chunks.  Thats a image creation option though, so it may not help you
here.
