The user tries to move one of root's files, using
R runs the command dired-do-rename
and gets
Move `/tmp/075.127.075.210.00080-218.174.214.026.44260' to `/cf/075.127.075.210.00080-218.174.214.026.44260' failed:
(file-error Removing old name operation not permitted /tmp/075.127.075.210.00080-218.174.214.026.44260)
so then he decides to use
C runs the command dired-do-copy
and gets
Overwrite `/cf/075.127.075.210.00080-218.174.214.026.44260'? [Type yn!q or C-h] n
Copy `/tmp/075.127.075.210.00080-218.174.214.026.44260' to `/cf/075.127.075.210.00080-218.174.214.026.44260' failed:
(file-already-exists File already exists /cf/075.127.075.210.00080-218.174.214.026.44260)
Any why? Because the first message forgot to tell him that indeed the
file was at least, yes, successfully copied.

Emacs behaves the same way as the `mv' command does.
Closing as wontfix.

OK, I guess I should file a bug against mv(1) to have it do the cp(1)
silently even if it can't mv.
