Copying file \\HS510\#1Files\NTPfiles\OTL\NoteTabPro.otl <to> E:\#1Files\NTPfiles\OTL\NoteTabPro.otl (712B) [Can not copy NTFS Additional File Streams of file "E:\#1Files\NTPfiles\OTL\NoteTabPro.otl". The request is not supported.]
The 29 August 2009 Microsoft site suggests wait for the hotfix update.
The VV KB post was in March 2010 and still no hotfix update.
Disabling the NTFS additional file streams in ViceVersa will mean VV will not display the file did not synch.
Only options: manually copy the file or install the beta hotfix.
Thank you

"Copy permissions, security attributes and streams (NTFS only)"
Then click on "Details" next to the checkbox.
Uncheck all the checkboxes, except check "Do not copy file/folder data streams"
