I suggest you create (dd) an empty loopfile (FS.NEW)
and format it (mke2fs).  Then, using a different Linux,
mount both FS.IMG and FS.NEW.  Use one tty to cd to
FS.NEW (where you execute "receive") and another tty
to cd to FS.IMG (where you "send"  *  to localhost).  
Only the existing files will be sent, not the dead 
bytes.  Then rename FS.NEW to FS.IMG and zip it up.

Cheers,
Steven
