A Ha. You are seeing Indexes, which have the absolute path hard-coded in the file header. Those can't be copied by non-uniVerse processes without them appearing to be corrupted. There are no VOC pointers to those files in a 'real' account; only the header of the file to which each index belongs. If you wish to see whether the indexes are working on the copy, try this command: LIST.INDEX FILENAME ALL in the VOC of the copy account.
