Full Discussion: AIX cp error: "A file or directory in the path does not exist"

Network AIX cp error: "A file or directory in the path does not exist"
Hello fellow UNIX fans,
I'm running AIX 4.3 and getting an error message “cp: /a/file2.db: A file or directory in the path does not exist” when I run the following command:
cp /b/file.db /a/file2.db
It stops every time about 95% of the way through the copy process at 1,073,741,312 bits.
The destination directory has plenty of room and already exists. I'm on the root user. It does the same error message if I try to send it to a different directory.
Is there some sort of file size limitations in AIX 4.3? Could the file be corrupt? Are there any alternative commands that might work?
Thank you,
Jackson

mvdir

mvdir(1M)						  System Administration Commands						 mvdir(1M)

NAME

       mvdir - move a directory

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/mvdir dirname name

DESCRIPTION

       mvdir  moves  directories  within a file system. dirname must be a directory. If name does not exist, it will be created as a directory. If
       name does exist, and is a directory, dirname will be created as name/dirname. dirname and  name may not be on the same path; that  is,  one
       may not be subordinate to the other. For example:

       example% mvdir x/y x/z

       is legal, but

       example% mvdir x/y x/y/z

       is not.

OPERANDS

       dirname	  The name of the directory that is to be moved to another directory in the filesystem.

       name	  The  name  of  the directory into which dirname is to be moved. If name does not exist, it will be created. It may not be on the
		  same path as dirname.

USAGE

       See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of mvdir when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).

EXIT STATUS

       0     Successful operation.

       >0    Operation failed.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
