cp: skipping file `foo.txt', as it was replaced while being copied

I've just installed the latest 1.5.21 version of cygwin and am getting
the following error when attempting to copy a file from a network drive
to a local drive:
$ cp v:/foo.txt ~/bar.txt
cp: skipping file `foo.txt', as it was replaced while being copied

I've noticed from the mailing list archives that this problem has been
seen before, but I haven't managed to find any solution/workaround.

I've attached the output from running `cygcheck -svr' and the results of
running the getvolinfo command posted in the archives.

Copying works fine from all my mapped network drives except for my v:
drive (which is automatically mapped at login to a "home" drive at
another site).
I notice in the cygcheck output that this is the only network drive not
marked with "FC" (not sure if this is significant or not).
b:  net NTFS    327304Mb  68% CP CS UN PA FC     NASVolume
r:  net NTFS    114392Mb  90% CP CS UN PA FC     
v:  net NTFS       500Mb  46% CP CS UN PA        johnc$

Any help to resolve this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

    --- John
