I've done everything from the command line. And have repeated it many 
times. I also thought that this may be some timeout issue and as I stated 
previously, I've been waiting as long as 30 minutes between the cp
command completed and the time I've executed the rm command - still no 
luck. The second command succeeds always. Maybe if you cannot reproduce 
it, I will be able to arrange a shell access to my machine for you, so 
that you can observe the behaviour.
