Charlie:
It sounds to me like you mounted the Pismo on the Cube. You then dragged
files *from* the Pismo to the Cube. Whenever you copy System files from a
server you will get the "in use" errors.
However, if you reverse the server and client, you will have no problem. Do
this:
1) Mount the Cube on the Pismo
2) Drag the Pismo System Folder to the Cube
All should proceed as desired.
BTW, it's still a good idea to make an emergency CD.
