It could be ftw() going awry ... how deeply are these directories
nested, and what file descriptor limits (ulimit -a) do you have?  I
think bash defaults to 256, which isn't much.

"ulimit -n 4096" may help.

You might also try other commands, such as:

	find <sourcedir> -depth -print | cpio -p - at dmPV <destdir>
