Help The Helpdesk?!!

-- Thanks in advance for any help --
This is a osx specific typically 10.5.x -10.6.x

I work at a mac helpdesk - and we do allot of Data Transfers/Migrations
As things go, at the helpdesk, with the world of computers; (hard drives) are not always willing to play nice.

So here is the proverbial scenario

Data Migration or Transfer from one computer to another, and from the computer we are transferring from the HD is mounting and smart status if passing... but...

1, Migration fails - due to hanging or data corruption
2. Imaging in Disk Utility fails with "Input/output error"
3. I use...

Cp -Rvf

And this generally this works for me because it will get everything off of the computer that it can read from the drive...

What I want to do, and do not know how, is three things essentially.

1. Run "Cp -Rvf" and log output to a "DT.txt file" as well
2. Run "Cp -Rvf" and log Just log (or filter) Just "Input/output errors" to and errors.txt
or Ideally
3. Run "Cp -Rvf" and log entire transfer to DT.txt and log just "Input/output errors" to errors.txt

NAME
scrollkeeper-rebuilddb - rebuild the scrollkeeper document catalog database SYNOPSIS
scrollkeeper-rebuilddb [-p path ] [-v] [-q] DESCRIPTION
This rebuilds the ScrollKeeper database from the original OMF metadata files and documents. Under normal situations, this tool is not nec- essary. It is useful however if the database becomes corrupt, which could be caused by interruption of ScrollKeeper during an update of the database. Errors and warnings are logged to /var/log/scrollkeeper.log. OPTIONS
-p path Use path as the ScrollKeeper database directory. -v Verbose. Show warnings and error messages in addition to logging them to /var/log/scrollkeeper.log. -q Run in quiet mode, suppressing output of all but the most serious warning and error messages to STDOUT. Note that most output to the log file will be unchanged. FILES
