I had considered this also. The only reason that I thought that it might be something is this: If I cp -r the directory /files/documents it will not copy the directory /files/documents/work. However, if I cd to /files/documents/work and then cp to the server. everything is copied.
I agree that the drive is probably screwed and is giving strage errors back to my server. I'm going to try rsync and if that doesn't work I guess I'm down to copying everything manually.
