I'm attempting to use robocopy version XP026 to mirror contents of an NTFS
filesystem onto a Solaris CIFS Server share. Robocopy reproduces the complete
directory structure successfully, but few if any files are copied, and error
1338 is displayed many times (ERROR 1338 ... Copying NTFS Security to
Destination Directory ... The security descriptor structure is invalid).

The problem appears to happen because there are a lot of unresolvable SIDs
in the contents of the NTFS filesystem. If the unresolvable SIDs are removed
the robocopy is completely successful. Removing the unresolvable SIDs can be
done relatively easily for a small test case, but not for the 2+ TB I would
like to copy.

We are investigating ways to do a mass clean up of the unresolvable SIDs, but 
since robocopy only has this problem when the destination is a Solaris CIFS
Server share I'm hoping for a solution here.

I'm running snv_99.

I have the property config/unresolvable_sid_mapping set to true in the idmap
service (I needed this before I could even connect to the share).

The cifs_chkcfg script produces no output.

The cifs_gendiag script output can be found at

Thank you.
