Hello All

I try to copy my mp3's (108GB) from a nethd to the local hd on my box. 
Nautilus just stops copy after some times (no message, just stops). So I 
tried it on the command line with cp and got:

thomas at AMD64:~$ cp -r /media/nethd/Sound/* /media/Sound/
bash: /bin/cp: Argument list too long

So, I tried rsync:

thomas at AMD64:~$ rsync -rvtn --modify-window=1 --exclude "lost+found" 
/media/nethd/Sound/* /media/Sound
bash: /usr/bin/rsync: Argument list too long

Any help?

Regards, Thomas
