._ or dot Underscore files are created by Mac's.  They contain metadata for 
files and folders, such as thumbnail properties and other weird stuff.

You have 2 options.

Option 1: Skip them in your file copy, or delete them and then start your file 
copy.
Option 2: Move the files with a Mac.

They are not needed for the file, adn deleting them will not change the 
origional photo in any way.

Subject: Copy files error

I am in the process of moving all files from a data drive on a server 2003 
standard machine. I am using robocopy /s /e /v /sec /w:0 /r:0 /log:c:\robocopy 
to copy the files.

This is the error I get (about 11,850 of them)
New File                                  8938   ._9073-12.jpg
2009/01/28 09:24:56 ERROR 123 (0x0000007B) Creating Destination Directory 
X:\Data\Media\~Photos\Drop Files Here\IMB Portraits Archive \
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

If I go to the individual files or folders where I received this error from and 
right click them and go to properties I get this.

(folder)
[cid:227155819@29012009-22E4]
(file)
[cid:227155819@29012009-22EB]

I know these are files created by Macs. If I try to copy the files or folder 
manually I get this.
[cid:227155819@29012009-22F2]

I did a chkdsk /f on the server and I also checked the consistency of the Raid 
5.

Any suggestions? I don't really want to manually move all 11,850 files and 
folders and reassign NTFS permissions...

Thanks,
Josh
