It's long. I'll put it at the end.

cp -R /* /ad2

I tried everything I could think of...that and a whole lot more. I got my clients' sites up and running, thank goodness, but now I'm trying to get my site up (on another instance). Here's the error, and I don't understand it, because there is no Data.fs.lock and the permissions should be just fine (always worked before, same permissions as the other instance, same effective-user):
