I have tried out following commands to copy:

find ./ -type f |cpio -pm <destdir> # half-performace as tar
rsync -av <sourcedir>/ <destdir>/ # smarter then tar but bad performace

mv or any other are not testet while i surely run in to the "too many
Arguments" Problem....

Can you try with pax? (pax -rw ...) That doesn't involve pushing the stuff thru a pipe like with tar. The cpio version is similar but it probably can be sped up a bit if you run the find once before, or feed find into a file and redirect input to cpio from that file (so that it doesn't have to seek all the time.)
