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.
