Believe it or not, your hard drive controller can make a difference.
When I had the A2090A I could only DiskCopy FROM the fake-floppy-on-
the-hard-drive, not TO it. 

When I switched to the HardFrame, DiskCopy magically started working
both ways.

This was from the CLI by the way, it always fails from WorkBench.

Oh, and on the mountlist entries, they are highly drive dependent, so
unless you've got a Wren III, mine won't help you much. But I set mine
up according to kjohn's posting that is reproduced in the monthly
introductory posting to c.s.a (or c.s.a.t).
