you don't have the necessary programs on your host (i.e. you don't
have "file", usually installed as "/usr/bin/file").

your busybox is not statically linked. On ubuntu, you'd need the
"busybox-static" package.

This might be the result of (2), your busybox does not recognize
"init" as an applet that it handles. Again, on ubuntu, using
"busybox-static" should work.

Are you using your own self-compiled busybox? If yes, there are
options during compile time to enable static linking as well as
selecting which applets to enable.
