I said "IIRC". If my specific explanation above, which I plucked out from memory in a rush, is the wrong one, OK, no problem. However, I do remember that this thing of having the trailing slash in the source, but not in the destination, is something I have read in many places as the thing to do, and this is the first time I hear speaking against it. I'm not "attacking" you in any way, of course. Just saying that I am puzzled, because I had never heard of such an issue before. Back on topic, why do you think there may be some link between this issue and the problem I see? My problem seems more due to some wrong option, because a) it is the only problem I see, never had any filled partition, and b) it is very, very constant. Sorry if I forgot to specify this earlier, but if I run the command on two different drives, both vfat, both times the folder(s) that are recopied are the same. So it is either something weird in the permissions or other metadata of those folders only, or some wrong option in the command. But what?
