Re: Cannot copy to MacOS 10.4 clients

[Mark Burgess]

Well these are quite difference messages. permission denied comes from
cfservd, while image loop comes from the agent.

The agent believe you are trying to copy a file to itself (on the same
host). Is there are problem with name resolution?

The server apparently responds however. From which host? 

It is impossible for diagnose without more info.
