Did you find the ani.log file? It should contain the output from cp 
command, not the one of the perl script.

Did you try to copy the share by hand? Maybe you find the reason for 
your troubles by that way...

No i don't think so. The bug makes files on the mouted samba share 
disapear sometimes. Cp hasn't any problem with this, but winnt.exe does ;)
Yes it's a awful thing....
(It's a bug in the smbfs-part of the kernel concerning the caching of 
the directory listing. It only appears when share with huge directories 
are mounted. I tried to fix this some years ago but i gave up because of 
bad cooperation between the samba and  kernel team. Maybe that's 
different today?!)

Yes please... We are very interested in that!

I'm using tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25 at the moment without any problems. Does 
tar need some kernel headers to compile (file system or something)? 
Maybe there is some incompatibility...
