copy permissions



Hi

i have nfs shared a directory on one machine and used "cp -a" to copy the
directory to another machine...(to produce an identicle file server)  What
puzzles me is that although i was logged on as root... i was still unable
to copy some files.. it saying that i was not permitted to copy due to lack
of permissions.   I thought that as root i would be able to copy
everything.  Is there any way around this as it is time consuming to change
the permissions on every file/directory that it has a problem with.


thanx
