cp checks the inode numbers before and after, and it seems the inode
numbers on this drive are not persistent.

        ^^^^
Drive K: is not recognized.  It's *some* drive, claiming to be NTFS, but

What kind of drive is that?

Apart from that, try to mount the drive with the ihash mount option.
Does that help?
