I think it means that NHB successfully copied the file to the destination, but that once it had been copied, the attributes of the file (in the destination path) could not be set to the same as the source file. Do you understand? Attributes are used by Windows to determine if files are hidden, system files, archive files, read only, and more. This is not nessecarily a big problem for a normal user.
