Hi Don,
Yep, we're all trying to guess what's happening here and none of us have enough information to know exactly.
The OP says it's a copy operation which infers that the OP expects the source to still exist after the operation. However, 'rename' is in the code.
I was attempting to explain the OP comment that his code outputs a zero length for the destination but when he lists the file it's the correct size. Given that detail I suggested that the destination was in fact a link and not a copy, and that somehow, the process fails before the inode was populated with the allocated sectors of the file. So the destination shows length zero but the source (which the OP expects to still exist) shows the correct size.
I 'guess' that we can't 'guess' any more without more info. Really sorry that I tried only to confuse the conversation.
