Hi!

This bug report is pretty old, could you try again with the latest
release in testing? A lot of changes went in RPD since then, and I
wonder if this is still a problem.

Otherwise, I would also argue that if you copy files before RPD
processes them, you're kind of doing it wrong. :) RPD is the thing
that's designed to copy them...
