Hobocopy fails to copy read-only folder as read-only

[candera]

Background

In this thread, a user reports that hobocopy fails to copy read-only folders as read-only.

Expected Behavior

A folder marked as read-only should be copied as such.

Status

Won't fix: people should use shadowspawn+robocopy to get more full-featured copying.

Comment from the mailing list:

1a) Here is a vote for fixing Issue #39, not copying
   directory RO attribute, Although I can see the
   confusion.  XP Pro SP2 will not mark or clear
   sub-directories as RO from the GUI, whereas using
   ATTRIB from a DOS window DOES mark them correctly.
