Mystery (partially) solved. I just took a sneak peak at the extended attributes of the .DS_Store file and some have a resource fork (probably the ones that were failing to copy I BET!). So appears to be the same failure we are talking about here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/814076 .DS_Stores on the NAS's with resource forks.. maybe that will help you figure out leaky compression
