Thanks @OOM-9, the scan finished last night with no issues. The files copied likely have permissions issues as I copied they came from a user on my mac mini who was having issues with AFP under Lion (running 4.1.8 on Duo).
I reset the permissions per your suggestion: "Set ownership and permissions for existing files and folders ..."
Deleting a single zero byte file in AFP takes upwards of 7 minutes to complete: Right click --> Move to Trash --> Deleting "<filename>" (Trash window)
Mounting CIFS (or AFP) shows top level directories in the share (Media) immediately. Clicking into a directory (say Movies) takes upwards of 5 minutes to show the files (blank directory window for 5 minutes, then files appear)
All operations take much longer to execute.
