When I run ndmpcopy as root:

#/usr/local/ndmp/src/ndmpcopy -v machA:/vol/corp/old machB:/vol/sw3/old

my permissions are changed to d--------- as follows:

Before the ndmpcopy (from) directory and permissions:

# ls -ld /net/machA/vol/corp/old drwxrwxrwx 8 root other 4096 Mar 20 1999 /net/machA/vol/corp/old

After the ndmpcopy (to) directory and permissions:

# ls -ld /net/machB/vol/sw3/old d--------- 8 root other 4096 Mar 20 1999 /net/machB/vol/sw3/old

exportfs machA corp -root=roothost machB sw3 -root=roothost

cifs shares machA corp everyone /full control machB sw3 everyone /full control

machA and machB are 840c with 5.3.7R2

Any input would be appreciated.

PS machA:/vola/dir to machA:/volb/dir doesn't change the permissions. Permissions aren't changed for directories that aren't owned by root. Ndmpcopy works fine for these directories.
