cpio with symbolic links

Hello, I have a directory linked to different directory. ex: /oracle/arc ->/oracle/backups/arc I archived the files in /oracle/arc directory using cpio as cpio_arcfile when I use cpio -ivmBut < cpio_arcfile it shows me /oracle/arc directory . but when I use exactly the same thing in different machine it shows the actual volume as /oracle/backup/arc? Since I need to use different machines, I can not create physical volume in different machines. So I need to use only the linked directory name. Is there any difference in system set up could cause the problem. Thank you in advance. Sakthi.
