Such error messages can usually be safely ignored -- they should not
prevent the copy from succeeding, only the copied file might not have
the same group membership as the original.

You can change any file owned by you to a group that you are in.  Type
'groups' to see which groups you are in.  Then from your home directory
type 'chgrp -R <xxx> .' where <xxx> is one of the groups you are in.
All the files you own will end up being in that group and then you can
copy them without the group-related error messages.
