Thanks for the tip (this looks useful) but rio suffers from the same 
behavior ...

I've split it up a bit and discovered that the exception is thrown when 
File.unlink tries to remove files in the folder after the copy. I have 
checked, double checked, and triple checked that I have Full Control of 
the tree in question (and I have no trouble doing whatever file ops I 
like from Explorer) but for some reason I can't delete these files with 
ruby.

Any other ideas? Things to check or try?

Thanks,
Tim

ps - this is under Windows XP SP 2 with an NTFS filesystem on an 
external firewire drive...
