What type of permissions are on the source data?  Are you a fully SMB shop, NFS shop or a mixture?  If you are purely SMB, you can use EMCopy/Robocopy.  If you are NFS only, rsync is a good tool.  WIth a mixture it gets a little more complicated.  Make sure that the user you are copying the data as has enough permissions.  Also at least on Isilon, you need to make sure that the user writing the data has enough permissions to change ownership and permissions as well.  You didn't mention what type of storage you are copying to or protocol.  If you can provide some of that we might be able to assist better.  Also, what type of permission issues did you encounter?  Did nothing make it across or did only partial ACLs, etc.
