OK. Here is what I tried and the results:

:/mnt/osx$ sudo cp -R /Users/myuserfolder /mnt/osx2
Password:
cp: cannot stat `/Users/myuserfolder': No such file or directory
:/mnt/osx$ cd
:~$ sudo cp -R /mnt/osx/Users/myuserfolder /mnt/osx2/myuserfolder-backup
cp: cannot create directory `/mnt/osx2/myuserfolder-backup': Read-only
file system

Why is /mnt/osx2 "read-only? I ran 'sudo mount /dev/sdc12 /mnt/osx2 -o
umask=000 -t hfsplus

Cheers,
