You must do:

SHELL "pushd /directory; find ./ | cpio -vco | gzip > /path/to/archive/file 
2>&1" WAIT FOR READ

If you don't add "2>&1" to each shell command, so that the standard error 
output is redirected to the standard output, then you won't get the standard 
error output data in the 'Read' event handler.

Or you can use the 'Error' event to catch the standard error output directly.
