The shutil module that jython uses is copied from cpython, i.e. we don't have a specialised version of it for jython.

Interestingly, the following section appears in the copytree function

####

    try:
        copystat(src, dst)
    except OSError, why:
        if WindowsError is not None and isinstance(why, WindowsError):
            # Copying file access times may fail on Windows
            pass
        else:
            errors.extend((src, dst, str(why)))


###

And if I comment out those lines, the error no longer appears, i.e. the copytree works correctly, and no errors are reported.

So, now to decide what is the best fix for this.
