Bug Description
I have a cd full of oggs. The path names are longish but not excessively, and
include spaces. I can navigate the CD and see folders and files ok.
However, When I copy the files to my home directory, but it turns some
sub-folders into 0 byte files. I first did this by just copy and pasting the
files between nautilus windows. cp -r seems to work okay. when i view the files
on the cd, they have read and execute permissions for u,g,a and are owned by
root, group root.
This led to what may be another bug: the resulting 0 byte file disappeared from
the nautilus view when I right clicked on it. Could this be because it is
supposed to be a directory?
Why should copy and paste in nautilus be different from cp -r? does it do cp -a
then not have permission to create the contents of folders?

Thanks for your bug. What version of nautilus/ubuntu do you use? Do you have an
example of filename for that?
