> The file system is Mac OS Extended Journaled (default as out of the box).

I ran a repair disk .. .while it found and fixed what it called "minor" problems, it did something.  However, the repair did not fix the problem. I just ran the program again and the source is 47,970 bytes and target after copy if 45,056.

Interestingly, the test I run just after the copy , i run a file compare:

code:

 if showproperties: 
                    print "Filecompare :",filecmp.cmp(fn,loc+fname)
                    print "Statinfo    :"+fn+":\n", os.stat(fn)
                    print "Statinfo    :"+loc+fname+":\n", os.stat(loc+fname)

results:

Filecompare : True
Statinfo    :/var/folders/p_/n5lktj2n0r938_46jyqb52g40000gn/T/speakers.htm:
posix.stat_result(st_mode=33188, st_ino=32205850, st_dev=16777218L, st_nlink=1, st_uid=501, st_gid=20, st_size=45056, st_atime=1365749178, st_mtime=1365749178, st_ctime=1365749178)
Statinfo    :/Users/rmschne/Documents/ScottishOilClub/SOC Board Doc Sharing Folder/Meetings/speakers.htm:
posix.stat_result(st_mode=33188, st_ino=32144179, st_dev=16777218L, st_nlink=1, st_uid=501, st_gid=20, st_size=45056, st_atime=1365749178, st_mtime=1365749178, st_ctime=1365749178)

It shows file size 45,056 on both source and target, which is the file size of the flawed target, and is not what Finder shows for source.

Sigh.
