From which user id? It would have to be tested using the customer's
id.

When you call CopyFile and it fails, GetLastError tells you the
reason. What value is being returned by that? I would write a "stupid"
app that does nothing but a copyfile, using the same source and
destination that the user had a problem with. Put some diagnostic code
in there to check your ability to read the source, write to the
destination, and then call CopyFile. If it fails, see what
GetLastError reports.

Good luck.
