Seems to happen even if it's not in LinuxPath mmm.

If I remove LinuxPath it still does not work, if I change Content to None it works but LinuxPath is ignored.
It works if I remove LinuxFileMode.

Having that same issue on Fedora. LinuxFileMode causes that error.

Thanks. I've been doing some work in this area recently. Let me see if I find some time this week to dive into this.

The underlying issue was that when you use LinuxFileMode to set the lower values of the file mode (e.g. the permissions, such as 755), the file type (S_IFREG, or 10000 in octal) was not set properly. This caused cpio to rightfully complain on some older versions of RHEL/CentOS.

This has been fixed with #138 and should be on NuGet soon. I'm also fairly sure this fixes the issue with the sticky bits & friends.
