Looks like ditto succeeds:

|04:40:02 PM|Info| WARNING: Could not copy file with Cocoa frameworks. Attempting to copy with ditto.
(the log ends there... SuperDuper is still working on the copy, but has proceeded past the problem area.)

I know, but I was testing the failure with SuperDuper! I'm working on simulating your case, though... thanks. ;)

Well, now that's why we have a fallback to ditto: if NSFileManager fails, there's another option.

Interesting: I wonder why NSFileManager fails where ditto succeeds. But I know why it's working here: the filename passed to ditto is quoted with double-quotes. We've reworked that in v2.0, so you won't have to take the double-quotes out of a failed file like this.
