That's different filesystems.
So cp -x should not try to copy again what it just had copied.

It seems that my theory is not valid.

Something could be wrong with the input tree instead. Especially around file
"grub2 problem-2018-02-13".

What do you get from

  ls -lR /home/richard/.local/share/Trash/expunged/1449727740/"grub2 problem-2018-02-13" 2>&1 | less

This could be many text lines. So i propose to pipe the output into "less"
and to then explore it without flooding the terminal.

If nothing spectacular shows up: What does this yield:

  ls -lR /home/richard/.local/share/Trash/expunged/1449727740 2>&1 | less


Have a nice day :)
