I believe if I remember correctly that you can elevate a sub- process not the current process. You need to place the copy operation in a sub- process that you create with elevated privileges. It has been too long for me to remember details (sorry).

There is no way to elevate a running process to run as root; you must launch a authenticated and/or setuid helper. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
