Found this while thinning my inbox. Adding something for the archives
from one who makes a lot of manual mistakes. I've seen similar errors
under two different circumstances:
1) My target partition wasn't mounted. *oops*
2) Target partition was mounted BUT had quietly been auto-renamed by
my system k/t that another partition was already bearing the same
label name. Fodder for another eventual thread and why I love and
advocate UUIDs over labels or other.
