Hello all!
I have this script that copies all files from my digital camera into a new
folder upon execution.
But now and again (Not always) i get an error like:

cp: skipping file `/media/usbdisk/dcim/100pentx/imgp0099.jpg', as it was
replaced while being copied

The card is automounted and not touched while the script is ran.
So why is the filesystem on the card touched and (apparently) changed?

That error message, as cryptic as it is, seems more like what you'd get
if the file already exists in the destination, and cp was run without
the -f (force) option.

I doesn't.
The destination is freshly made at each pass by the script.
It creates a folder 'yymmdd.xx' where 'xx' is an incremented sequential
number. So if i run the script twice the same date, it still differs by the
last two digits (01,02 etc).
So it CAN'T find anything in the target. (Or at least shouldn't)

The script is as follows for those who want to debug:
maybe not very intelligent or pretty regarding code, but it runs :)
