I suppose that I'm suprised and disappointed that I can't just use cp to copy arbitrary files around without first having to lay groundwork in order for things to work properly.
I'd start at the source. Give yourself POSIX-style access to the files to start with. 'cp' will preserve that access. 'cp' and many other utilities don't take ACL permissions into account. They are silently ignored. For whatever reason, it looks like your source file has no POSIX permissions for user, group, and other. Fix that with 'chmod' and I think you'll have solved your problem.
