helios-build -o build failed with a CPIO error

@grwilson was running a helios-build image -o build -N ??? (I don't remember the -N value) and it failed with:

I can reproduce this so there isn't something specific to George's environment. That was a simple:

$ ./helios-build image -o build

Presumably it doesn't fail if you do -o $PWD/build though? I expect we're flubbing the expansion of that potentially relative path.
