Thanks to both Les and Ed. You were both right on. After Les initially raised the veto issue last night, I spoke with our SysAdmin this morning. He had forgotten, but the veto configuration that Les enumerated was indeed in the server's smb.conf. This is apparently part of our SOP's to preclude Windows users from being able to see/manipulate Linux system files in their /home directories. I am about the only one in our company who routinely uses Linux on the desktop. To confirm this, he temporarily commented out that specification and reloaded Samba. I could then copy the files without issue. Of course, he has now restored the veto configuration. I'll just have to tarball up the files as I move them to the server. Unfortunately, most other options, such as ssh and nfs are precluded under our SOP's to control external access. I will note the finding in the Bugzilla report and we can close out this chapter. Thanks again to both of you. Marc
