I really think now the problem was because I used the USB CFcard adaptor - I have problems with this and with another SDcard adaptor on both my Macs. I remember that, after the copying process hung, I pulled it out and it appeared to work fine on a Linux box, but when I put the card in my PS3 it complained of file corruption. I formatted the card in my camera, recopied the file to the CFcard (using the same USB adaptor) on my Linux box and the file was perfectly viewable on the games console. Like I say, I find these USB "mass storage" adaptors flakey on two of my Macs, so I do wonder if this is a problem with Apple's kernel drivers. Stroller.
