Ok, itemize changes prints out some info for each file, and it looks like: cf...p..... Nancy/Favorites/Links/desktop.ini cf...p..... Nancy/Favorites/Links/latin music.url cd...p..... Nancy/Favorites/Microsoft Websites/
I did a quick search on this switch and someone was bitching that the fields were not easy to decipher w/o reading the source code :) 'P' would appear to be permissions. I do get a couple of warnings/errors about not being able to preserve all attributes during the copy, but the permissions should not be changing...
