Oh, and you might want to set the retries to 1 or 0 and the wait on an open file to a second or two, too. If a file is open, I think it retries 30 times for 30 seconds (I'm not looking this up, just kind of remembering) which could make the initial copy take a LONG time if a number of files are open.
