I'be brought up my backup script for discussion before, and folks where
helpful in solving a problem, but the solution created another. Now all
files backed up have their ownerships changed to me, brownh:brownh.
Here's the old script, which had the problem that output was going to a
mail message that quickly exceeded system limits, and then caused the
backup process to terminate:
However, it seems to convert ownership of all files backed up to
brownh:brownh.

I did:
cpio --help
and the only thing that stuck out was this option:
--no-preserve-owner Do not change the ownership of the files
so maybe add this and use:
cpio -pdmuv --no-preserve-owner
