One of it's options is skipsSubdirectoryDescendants, which lets you disable recursion. But then I get a shallow enumeration. I still want to scan an entire directory hierarchy. The copyfile Unix API will let you do that but the Finder isn't using that either, which is why the Finder can do server side SMB copying, which copyfile cannot I've noticed that, which is why I've been using copyfile for a long time now myself. In terms of why the Finder isn't having issue I think you misunderstood. I said that the Finder is having the same issue.
