Pre-discussed with Michal already.

My command fails like that (I am trying to copy a file which does not exist on the local eos instance (source)):

env XrdSecPROTOCOL=sss xrdcp --tpc only --nopbar --verbose --force root://localhost.localdomain//eos/\?eos.lfn=fid:5639827871\&eos.ruid=2\&eos.rgid=2 root://eosbackup.cern.ch//eos/dest.file

Run: [FATAL] Redirect limit has been reached

With XRD_LOGLEVEL=Error it says a bit more:

2017-08-18 11:50:04.204501 +0200][Error ][Utility ] Cannot open source file root://localhost.localdomain:1094//eos/?eos.lfn=fid:5639827871&eos.rgid=2&eos.ruid=2: [FATAL] Redirect limit has been reached Run: [FATAL] Redirect limit has been reached

With XRD_LOGLEVEL=Dump I finally find the error string which I expected in the first place:

[2017-08-18 11:49:27.218079 +0200][Dump ][XRootD ] [eosuser-srv-b2.cern.ch:1094] Got a kXR_error response to request kXR_open (file: /eos/?eos.lfn=fid:5639827871&eos.rgid=2&eos.ruid=2&tpc.stage=placement, mode: 00, flags: kXR_open_read kXR_async kXR_retstat ) [3011] Unable to open - you specified a not existing inode number fid:5639827871; No such file or directory
