really weird move file problem

Hi folks,

Very strange scenario: I'm modifying .mov files at the Atom level, then moving the modded file out of /tmp and into user space with ...

NSAssert([[NSFileManager defaultManager] movePath:workingFilePath
toPath:[self resultFilePath]
handler: nil], @"could not move the media file");



On a certain machine, when moving to a second partition, or a connected firewire device, the file move freaks out and just runs and runs and runs, with no errors thrown. There is a tmp file in the final location (the usual "ADFSDL-DUDTYDSHSO" type generated name). I have to force quit my app. The resulting file is, of course, unusable. There are no errors in the log. If I select a location on the same partition for the final file, the move works fine.


At this point, it only appears to happen on one machine -- a MacBook Pro with HFS+ using GUID partition table. (However, code works fine on my MacBook Pro with the same formatting)

Can anyone think of possible reasons for this? Any way of troubleshooting? I'm stumped.
