This is a "feature" of the Finder, when copying files whose
names begin with a period between filesystems (I think) and is
not A/UX dependent.
I had a similar problem under MacOS copying a .joverc
file---took ages to track down what was going wrong because the
file in question was buried about four levels deep and there
were no obvious clues as to what the problem was. The problem
derives (I seem to recall) from the fact that the MacOS drivers have
names that begin with a period.
