I vaguely recall that it involved just what you are attempting. The solution was to make multiple smaller transfers rather than trying to transfer the entire contents all at once. I seem to remember that 150-200 MB chunks transferred without incident, but dragging the entire volume onto another disk would result in problems as you have described.
