I had problems with cut and paste in Nautilus too, this is the best matching but report, so I write the problem here.
When cutting several folders in the home directory with ext3 Filesystem (strg+x) and pasting them (strg+v) to a USB stick or an SD card with FAT filesystem, not all the files are copied. There is no error message and everithing seems ok, until you try to find the files, they are lost. This happens whitout removing the devices, so it's no data loss due to plugging out too early. I cannot provide more informations, because I'm only a user, but it seems to exist since Hardy.
