Cris, Thank you for reporting the issue! Just for reference, could you please tell the version of the HDF5 library you are using? I reproduced the failure with 1.8.16.
The bug report is HDFFV-9772. Thank you! Elena ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elena Pourmal The HDF Group http://hdfgroup.org 1800 So.

I can copy an object within the same file using H5Ocopy(file_id, "/G4", file_id, "/G1/G4", H5P_DEFAULT, H5P_DEFAULT) I can create external links using H5Lcreate_external("file2.h5", "G2", file_id, "G2", H5P_DEFAULT, H5P_DEFAULT) I can even create a group in the externally-linked file using H5Gcreate(file_id, "/G2/G3", H5P_DEFAULT, H5P_DEFAULT, H5P_DEFAULT) But I cannot copy to the externally-linked file, as H5Ocopy(file_id, "/G4", file_id, "/G2/G3/G4", H5P_DEFAULT, H5P_DEFAULT) gives me an error. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong? Or is my version of hdf5 simply out of date?
