When using shutil.copy2 or copytree where the source is on a filesystem
that has octal permissions (ie ext3) and the destination is on an NTFS
partition mounted rw, the operation fails with
OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted
I am attaching a version of shutil.py where this has been worked around
by calling copystat like so:
try:
 copystat(src, dst)
except OSError, (n, str):
 # can't change stats on NTFS partition even if
 # OS supports it
 if n == 1:
 pass
 else:
 raise Error, str
