-50 and -50## are not the same error(s). -50 is 'paramErr' and -50##
are all AppleTalk
errors. pararmErr is returned from a function when one of the
parameters is invalid. For instance if a function expects a valid
pointer, but it receives a NULL instead it will return
a paramErr.
As for why you are getting the error, I can't say for sure. Does it
happen over both IP and ATALK? Is the error dependant on the size of
the file being copied? I know that 8.5 has trouble with routers
(mainly CISCO) set to some mode that I forget the name of now.
