Ted,
Can you forward this to Dan? It is an irritating problem that needs to be fixed.
I want to back up portions of 4.0 devel on liam (under programming) to zip for ready restore in case anything gets clobbered. When I attempt to do so I get an avalanche of messages crippling the process. The complaints are (for 50% of the files) either "error -50" or "file can't e copied it is in use". Of course no one has the file open in--the development group at least.
-50 is a param error. It means when the Mac OS requests the file to copy, the unix network passes it some info back and the Mac OS attempts the copy; it _attempts_ it but gets a parameter error back from its file handling routines which would seem to mean it was passed some bum info from the network.
