For copying, the resource fork and creation date along with any data about the file stored in .DS_Store.

For moving files, this is only lost if not on HFS/HFS+ (unless NSWorkspace has been updated for it) along with maybe the creator code and other stuff like that.

If it's going to destroy any data, whether you think it's important or not, it's best to find another way to do it.

But, I'm still curious exactly what gets lost by using NSWorkspace. If its only "Comments", why worry? (except for that one adamant customer that uses comments, I guess).
