just FYI, i have some file copy code that works, but i have not tried it on windows, and it looks pretty much the same as yours... anyway, it can't hurt to try this:

in = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(source));
out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(target));
byte[] buf = new byte[1000];
int n;
while ((n = in.read(buf)) != -1) {
out.write(buf, 0, n);
}
out.flush();
out.close();

in hindsight, it's not very useful here to use buffered streams, since the stream buffer is just 512 bytes whereas i am using 1000 bytes for my buffer size... but anyway, this one worked, and if it doesnt on mac then it probably has to do with some mac-internal weirdness like file creator flags or things like that... especially Apple applications are extremely picky on what they will open... come to think of it, did you check the permissions of the newly created file? what does fc say? (fc = file compare on command line)
