Actually, I totally prefer a warning there too, but conceptually there's 
something annoying me:
 - warning means roughly "okay, I did almost what you asked but faced a few 
unexpected things"
 - error means roughly "I can't do what you ask me, but I'll continue anyway to 
see how far I can go"
 - fatal means roughly "I found an error, but I can't even go any further"

So basically if you perform an "exit" in this function, that would mean a 
"wfatal" because you stop where you are.
As I agree this should only be a warning, could I propose to replace that 
"exit" with just a "return" so not only will the program continue, but it may 
also succeed copying other files...
