Haris:
Yes, your assumption is correct: I'm attempting to copy the entire mounted
external drive. I hadn't considered testing with various folders/permissions
because the system shows 'rwxrwxrw'. I will test as you suggest.
SA Dev:
I've tried with various other automounted volumes (USB drives, CD-ROMs) and
it doesn't seem to be limited to a particular partition type. In addition to
Haris' suggestion, I'll be trying some other path as you suggest.
