BPAV folder won't copy into Documents... why? at DVinfo.net

Hi there,
I've been shooting and transferring successfully... but suddenly the footage from today's shoot won't copy into my 'Documents' folder (I'm on a Mac, but my first step is to use ShotPut to copy from SXS card to external fw drive, and then copy to 'My Documents' in Windows... for eventual re-wrap to mxf).
The copying from external drive sure looks like it's working - - the progress bar seems to be working just as it normally does - - but after the progress bar disappears... there's no BPAV folder in the window, and Clip Browser can't find it anywhere.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what's going on?
I've manually moved the BPAV folder from SXS card to desktop (skipping ShotPut) and this doesn't work either. I've also tried copying the individual MP4 files from card into a New Folder in Windows... also with no luck.
Cheers,
Malcolm

To follow-up: I just successfully copied my folder that contains the BPAV folder into My Documents... Clip Browser didn't see it, but I kept searching the 'tree', found it this time, and all is good.
Cheers, (I wish I could use another name when I've made such a stupid mistake, but I can't do that, so I'll sign) Malcolm
