shell usage (syntax) question

Hello,
how can I delimit a program parameter from a shell instruction?
Example: I want to tell the shell that stderr should be redirected to
file /tmp/test, not cpio to use /file/test:
# /usr/bin/cpio -idmuv < /dev/ad0h 2> /tmp/test
This doesn't work, I guess cpio grabs the ">". How can I write it that the
shell sees the ">"? (sh, but also interesting for csh)
Thanks in advance!
