Directory where it works fine:

  C:\>xcacls c:/temp
  c:\TEMP BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)F
          Everyone:(OI)(CI)C
          CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)F
          NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)F

Directory where it doesn't:

  C:\>xcacls c:/
  c:\ BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)F
      Everyone:(OI)(CI)C
      CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)F
      NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)F

Since re-starting the system and repeating the copy on drive O: (the
newly created NTFS partition that 'cp' worked in) the "magically created
directory" now appears when using 'cp'. FAT and FAT32 drives still seem
OK with 'cp'.

Xcacls for all drives:

  C:\>xcacls c: && xcacls d: && xcacls g: && xcacls j: && xcacls k: && xcacls l: &
  & xcacls m: && xcacls n: && xcacls o:
  C:\ BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)F
      Everyone:(OI)(CI)C
      CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)F
      NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)F

  D:\ Everyone:(OI)(CI)F

  G:\ Everyone:(OI)(CI)F

  J:\ Everyone:(OI)(CI)F

  K:\ Everyone:(OI)(CI)F

  L:\ Everyone:(OI)(CI)F

  M:\ No permissions are set. All user have full control.
  N:\ No permissions are set. All user have full control.
  O:\ Everyone:(OI)(CI)F
