Hi,
  tools like rsync are actually pretty good.

googling reports:
As for the verification itself, for protocol 30 and beyond (first supported in 3.0.0), rsync usesMD5 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5>. For older protocols, the checksum used isMD4 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD4>.

So. have you examined the md5sum of the source/destination files?

Cheers,
 Derek.

If you want to assess the validity of your copied files, checksums are the way to go. Tools like rsync will do this implicitly for you, where cp doesn't.
