Description
copy to Documents fails on Sugar 100 (AU build).
the problem is that the ioctl for set the hidden attributes for:
/home/olpc/Documents/.Sugar-Metadata is "Inappropriate".
Not sure when this problem crept in (when we switched to multiselect?) or if it is also applicable to other file systems. The obvious workaround is to no set the hidden attribute on the GNU/Linux file system where it is not needed. Will prepare a patch.

- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
The set hidden attribute ioctl doesn't work for
~/Documents/.Sugar-Metadata, however it is not necessary to apply the
flag, since it is a Linux file system. This patch checks to see if the
destination of the copy is ~/Documents, and if so, skips the ioctl.
Fixes #4656

Confirmed that copying to external USBs works fine. So it seems to be isolated to ~/Documents.
