You need to shorten your From: line, man!

If those directory formatting things are really in the file, and you don't have
any files with hyphens in their name:

# cat log.FILES.ninja | tr -d '+| -' | cpio -p /backup

If the directory formatting things aren't in the file:

# cat log.FILES.ninja | cpio -p /backup

Easy. You just have to know where to look :-)
