Comment (by dsuden):

 I am copying from one hard drive to another.  I have tried the following
 approaches you mentioned:

 - Starting the copy and then closing the destination window
 - Closing all windows and doing the copy from a Terminal

 In both cases, the same thing happens.  The copying starts and flies along
 for a short while, then hesitates for a long time, during which Tracker
 becomes unresponsive and won't allow me to do things like open windows,
 create links, etc.

 FYI, the item I'm copying is my "Station" folder, which contains
 subfolders, of which have audio files in them.  In some cases, the audio
 files (mostly songs) are buried several layers deep...so the directory
 structure includes items like:

 /boot/Station/Music/AlmaNova/After Hours/07 Massimo Dancing.mp3
