One man's non intuitive error message is another man's full story of
what went wrong.

It's very unlikely that the problem is with the file's contents. It's
much more likely a problem with permissions or differing options between
filesystems. Please send the error message to the list.
I don't have 3.0.4 anywhere, but that file transferred perfectly fine to
and from pairs of machines running 3.0.{6, 7, and 8}.
