Yes, except those machines are specifically for backup and don't have 
shell access (or at least, I don't have shell access to them).

I'm afraid I didn't notice.

I tried originally to use a Mac OS/X box to copy the files, but it 
stopped partway through complaining about some file (.appleinfo ?) that 
already existed, although I could not find such a file, so I just 
figured I'd try the Linux box. Was I ever surprised to find that Linux 
could lock hard like this on a simple file copy. So I went back to the 
OS/X box, and am now copying the files from a Terminal window's command 
line; seems to be working so far.
