I connect to a server using Finder|Go|Connect to server…, which works
fine. (Yes it is a samba server on the grounds that Apple decided to
stop people using NFS :-(

I then cd to the directory on the server via the
path /Volumes/home/users/russel/…

Because I have Python 3 installed as default I have a symbolic link
python2 to 2.7:

        python2 runtest.py test/D

leads to an error in shutil.copytree at QMTest/TestCmd.py line 1275.

shutil.py line 208 is raising an exception operation not permitted
on /private/tmp/testcmd.98136.Tj_v70/./p/submodule2.d

So the problem is in the Python distribution, which probably means it
will take years to not be fixed.

The OSX machine has an exact replica on the filestore I have on all my
machines and yes, it all works fine on the local disc.
