==================================================

So the question is why were ~5k files NOT copied? Properties on /home/rgm shows
~42GB disk used.

"Number of files" includes a lot of things (directories, symlinks) that are
not ordinary files.  See if "find . ! -type f | wc -l" gives you a number
that accounts for the difference.

Reponds back with 4962 which is pretty close, given that I have done a few things since the backup (like restarting a few copies of Thunderbird).

Thanks for clarifying this for me. I suspected directories, but did not think I had THAT many! Obviously it was more than just directories. I will save this little find in my notes of things to check.
