     Oops.  I didn't need -A on this machine.  I copied a batch script I 
created on a windows server machine, where I did need ACLs.  Now that 
I've removed the -A, it works fine.

     Actually, both are external drives with nothing fancy on them what 
so ever.  The first one was going from an external LaCie HIPSERV to an 
external WDMYBOOK, and the one that was failing was going from an 
external WD500, to the WDMYBOOK.  There's really nothing as far as ACLs 
on them that I can think of.  I can't even think of *why* there would be 
any.  But, at this point, I don't care anyway, I don't need ACLs for 
this particular machine.

     Thanks!
