Hi Tim,

Thanks for the response

Re:  -50 is a Mac OS error.

This is pure Windows.

So.. back to square one.

Well -50 is a macOS error code. 4D uses macOS error codes in many places even 
when the error happens on windows. 

Quick Google returned this:

Mac OS error code -50

This error is commonly due to a file system problem on the target (destination) 
drive. It isn't indicative of a failure, but rather, an incompatibility. Mac's 
native file systems (HFS+ and HFSX) can store more complicated files than other 
file systems (like FAT32 or NTFS.) Common causes are:

        • A file too large for the file system.
        • A file containing punctuation in the name like \ / : * ? < > | To 
solve the problem, the drive must be put into a compatible format to store the 
files that cause the error.

If this is a drive that connects via Ethernet, the second cause is more likely. 
As the drive can not be reformatted, the file name must be changed to be 
compatible.

So maybe it is a file with a weird name.
