I just checked; they were NOT preserved.  I was pretty sure they were on 
the previous copy.

The input volume was write-locked, so they can't change.  The point is 
that the LIMIT on the output volume was overwritten, even though I said 
/NOINIT.  The cluster size was not.  Fortunately, there is SET VOL/LIM 
which can correct this.

If I copy from A to B and A overwrites B then, as the message says, it 
is indeed B which is not preserved.
