As Ismail said I just fixed this for directories and for file:<->system: and it will
now be possible to fix it for other protocols, but it should already work for file: -> file: copies.
Which protocols were you using to make those copies?

The issue comes from a few people I've introduced to GNU/Linux and are downloading from digital cameras and transferring files between machines using USB keys.  I therefore don't exactly remember the protocols used.  For the keys and an Olympus camera I think it's file: to file:, but for a Canon camera I think it is usb: to file: rather than camera: to file: (I could be wrong).
