Strace output from copy

I've attached the strace output from an attempted file copy.

Of note, is that I noticed a peculiar behavior.  Apparently there is some way
to have a nfs client write to the server still.  I run MythTV under Ubuntu and
had a slave backend transcoding stuff.	It was able to transcode and create the
tmp file, but frequently experienced many errors in the safe_write command in
myth.  However, the file was still created (all 2 gigs of it) and viewable (I
saved a copy of it on the NFS server).	When mythtranscode when to remove the
original and put the transcoded version over it that's when I lost the file. 
So this seems like it could be particularly annoying.  Don't take this to mean
it's a mythtv bug, it's not, it's clearly NFS, just thought I'd provide
additional insight into the problem.
