It fails at the CDW Database Task Step and the description of the failure is "Failed to copy file \\EROS\OMWWIZc\mssql\data\Admin_Data.MDF." I have tried to copy several different databases and they all fail with this same message. It appears that it is having trouble when it tries to copy the source datafile to the destination datafile location."
