NSFileManager copy -> AFP croaks on extended attributes

Subject: NSFileManager copy -> AFP croaks on extended attributes
From: Gerd Knops <email@hidden>

I am having trouble with NSFileManagers 'copyItemAtPath:toPath:error:' method:

Assuming

- the source path contains some files that use extended attributes
- the destination is on an AFP mounted volume

Under those circumstances copyItemAtPath:toPath:error:' fails and returns this error:

Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=1 UserInfo=0x12f49d90 "Operation could not be completed. Operation not permitted"

Annoyingly neither the 'fileManager:shouldCopyItemAtPath:toPath:' nor any of the 'fileManager:shouldProceedAfterError:*' delegate methods are called. The only useful bit of information was hidden in the syslog:

	error processing extended attributes: Operation not permitted

The code works fine when the destination is on a local file system or even on an NFS mounted file system.


Anybody knows of a workaround?

Thanks

Gerd
