xrdcp and xrootd 5.3.0/5.3.1 seems to not report error message correctly. See the following tests. Note in the test, * osggridftp01.slac.stanford.edu:2094 is an xrootd proxy running 5.3.0. * atlrdr1.slac.stanford.edu is a local storage running 4.12.6. I simply used name "atlrdr1" in the test $ xrdcp --version v4.12.6 $ xrdcp root://atlrdr1//xrootd/atlas/tpctest/junk-wei root://atlrdr1//xrootd/atlas/tpctest/junk-wei-DD [1024kB/1024kB][100%][==================================================][1024kB/s] $ xrdcp root://atlrdr1//xrootd/atlas/tpctest/junk-wei root://atlrdr1//xrootd/atlas/tpctest/junk-wei-DD [0B/0B][100%][==================================================][0B/s] Run: [ERROR] Server responded with an error: [3011] Unable to create new file; file already exists.
