1) NSFileManager, in -_copyPath:::, when encounters a directory, tries to create a new destination directory with the same attributes of the source; if the directory is created but the attributes can't be set it skips the source contents, even if _proceedAccordingToHandler::::: returns YES. I'm wondering if this is the right behaviour or if it should be considered a bug. It seems to me a bit restrictive; if I'm a user and I want to make a copy in my home directory of an external directory for which I've read access, this should be allowed; in this case NSFileManager should try to change only the permissions but not owner and group.

Agreed ... when copying a directory we should not be trying to preserve the original ownership ... should be fixed in svn.

2) I can't find a way to remove broken symlinks; - removeFileAtPath:: doesn't work in this case.

I can't reproduce this ... -removeFileAtPath: removes broken links for me.
