Backup fails due to files being encrypted

By another share, you are implying a different directory on my work PC? I'm sure that would solve the issue since a directory outside of My Documents, Desktop and Outlook would not have a group policy for encrypting those files by default. For example, my favorites works just fine but of course are not encrypted. I cannot move the Desktop/Outlook directories which means I still don't have a complete working solution. I actually thought it was a setting on the individual files themselves but it's completely related to the digital signing by my digital certificate. For example, I unenrypted all the files last week and those copied over just fine. However, those are now encrypted (policy push) and don't propose a problem unless changed. However, the new files I created since are not copied over. I cannot provide the specific log as the data in nature is sensitive and hence the default encryption policy. That being said, here is what I see for the files that fail:

cp: cannot open '/job_007//path' for reading: Permission denied

As you pointed out, the copy command fails. I guess what I don't understand is why it needs to open when it just needs to copy them. I may be missing something here about the copy function though. :?
