Seems like it's back to the real old fashioned technique
Create a new (different) directory for the source

See if the copy process ends appropriately with no data in the source
Add a subdirectory and just a couple of files from the proper source
try again
Add in a bit more
try again

Continue adding and trying until either
it works with all the data
or it fails and you can identify which files/directory cause the failure

Slow but possibly the only appropriate technique

Unless any on the group have better ideas.
