I'd just like to thank stas@ and everyone who replied with 
suggestions, code etc. I believe that I now have something workable 
and it's been submitted to portmgr for review and possible inclusion 
in bsd.port.mk along with some new features of my own. Hopefully, 
this will fix a long standing problem with copytree_*.

Once again thanks all :-)
