RoboCopy - First Copy Has a few Access Denied Error 5 - Perm Fix, still denied?

Hi Guys,

Just like to explain scenario to you and if this is the default behaviour or whether I have 'locked myself out' and what options I have?

I run robocopy on shared data using /COPYALL e.g.:

robocopy.exe \\source \\target *.* /E /V /R:1 /W:1 /MT:128 /ZB /LOG:C:\log.txt /TEE

All copies fine, except one folder where someone had inheritance blocked and locked down just to them. I take ownership of the folder at source and reset perms so my account has full access.

I rerun my robocopy (I have also tried with /SEC and no extra switches i.e. without /COPYALL) for a second time, but get:

New File 43008 [doc name]

date/time ERROR 5 (0x00000005) Copying File [path/name]

Access is denied

ERROR: RETRY LIMIT EXCEEDED

​As there is no way for me to sort the permisisons or know which folders will be locked like this I won;t have the cange to clean them up first. Are my incremental/second copies going to be doomed to failure?

Thank You
