I was wrong, it came back and it appears to be completely random.
I have tested this MANY times to prove it to myself.
I hope it's just a mistake in my fstab that can be easily corrected, but
is it?
I have a bunch of folder with files. As you will be able to see from my
folders and filenames, I thought it might be characters used in the
names of the files, but it isn't, it's completely random which is *much*
worse!
(I would prefer to put all of this into files but my newsgroup doesn't
allow me to "post binaries to a non-binary group"). I think this may be
difficult to follow, unfortunately.
First, the files and the permissions:

OK, this is what happens in bash.

Summary: Files inside of folders are not copied, but the folders are
created.
This happens exactly the same every time using bash. Using nautilus,
however, is where it becomes random.
Simple copy and paste in nautilus, I can't do it wrong!

And so on and so on. As you can hopefully see, the files that are
actually copied is completely random! The rest fail with "Access
denied" errors and I have to skip them.
I can, however, once the folders are created, copy files into them.

What I can not now do, is replace the files in the folders with files of
the same name, nor can I edit and save the files. "Access denied" every
time.
I can delete these files with no issues.
Doing the exact same thing in nautilus or bash as root has no problems
whatsoever.
Copying from FAT32 to ext3 (via SMB), the reverse, has no issues.
Sheer madness. Can anyone help? :-s

you are trying to copy all of those files to the file "./-r" ???

No, how did you come up with that? -r = recursive.

Options usually come before filenames.

...that's what you told the system to do.
The destination goes last.

Correct. It works fine under Ubuntu under normal circumstances.

It doesn't matter, it works (as root).

Apologies. I have never seen this before.....

But certiainly not always. (e.g., on fedora 9:

Ok, this seems to have changed a little. I noticed the following while
moving more files...
Say I'm copying folders with files. When selecting cut or copy, the
list of files and folders are obviously stored in memory in a particular
order, lets say, for example.
Folder 1
-/ File 1
File 2
File 3
File 4
...
Folder 2
-/ File 1
File 2
File 3
File 4
...
and so on.
Note: The file numbers refer to the order in which the files are to be
copied (this is not always alphabetical, or any logical, order).
Now, during the copy process, in Nautilus, the Folders are created, and
"File 1" in each folder appears to be the only files that are receiving
the "Access denied" problem.
It would appear that nautilus is attempting to copy "File 1" into the
folder before it has finished creating the folder. The rest of the
files are then copied (as I have to select "skip" for the copy to
continue, given enough time for the folder to be created).
This does not explain the behaviour in bash, but at least it's a bit of
a pattern (this time).
So, I'll have another look around, cry a bit, spit my dummy out, and
file a bug report if there is no answer, because there doesn't seem to
be, and no one has replied to say that they have a similar set up with
no problems.
Of course, I need to repeat this on another installation to prove it is
a bug, and not my machine (which means a reinstall I suppose).
