I would be surprised if this issue is related to the WM. Did you check that
the complete file was transferred? Some USB sticks have a slow controller and
it takes longer to complete the transfer. If you run sync on a terminal
you'll know the transfer has finished when the sync command completes.
Also, you can compare the USB and hard drive copies with md5sum or sha1sum to
make sure that it was transferred without fs corruption.
