Hi everyone,

I'm porting some ruby code from MacOS to Windows XP.  The code works fine on the 
Mac, but not on Windows as you can see.

This is the code that's causing the error (line 278 of buildwebclient.rb):

  FileUtils.cp_r("#{$html_template_path}/.", "#{$build_destination_path}", :preserve => true, :verbose=> true, :remove_destination => true)

Please note: The reason I use the remove_destination option is because the source 
and target files are read-only.  This behaves as I would expect on the Mac.

The is the log of the error:

  cp -rp --remove-destination C:\Projects/rnd/WebClient/RELEASE/Source/MindjetConnect/html-template/. C:\Projects/rnd/WebClient/RELEASE/BuiltVersions/WebClient_1.0.74
  An exception caused the build script to fail:

  c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:422:in `cp_r'
  buildwebclient.rb:278

The version of ruby on XP is:

  ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114) [i386-mswin32]

On the Mac, it's:

  ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [universal-darwin9.0]

I would use FileUtils.cp :force but that means I'd have to know every single file and 
directory that I'm copying -- I don't want to have to maintain such a list.

Any ideas?  Known issue?

Thanks.
