Re: Error copying documents

[Evan Harris <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If this is a one off, copy them to another IFS directory and try again.

Alternatively, if this is a one off, then try using FTP; you need to make 
sure you are in the system directory to use QDLS as well.

If it's not a one off then fix whatever puts them into QDLS. Rob is right 
get, rid of QDLS if this any kind of option at all.
