I have just spent the better part of the night trying to copy a 37k

How is this related to Debian, what is the point of a subject that is as
obscure as possible.
As described in the OP, this all took place on an uptodate bookworm 12.8
system because It had the only working card reader.
Assuming that you realy want help, please try to be mindful of the time
and efforts PPLs are putting into answering on this list.
Just to be clear, I'm as frustrated as you are.
After redoing the copy for the third time on this bookworm system, and
triple checking by unmounting and remount the card 3 times to see if it
survived, I took the card back to the printer, and that time it worked.
The printer is a highly rebuilt machine now unlike any other of its ik
on the planet, it may be producing stuff by tomorrow night as I have a
clock spring in the steering column to replace first thing later today.
Nothing except the horn works in my King Ranch F250 pickup.
Normally, when doing this operation, I can sudo copy a root:root file
but since the transfer card is vfat, It can't change the ownership
anyway. But the machine reading that file is vfat too which has no
concept of ownership, doesn't care. Suddenly I have zero write perms to
anyplace forever. That is whats new. Apparently with the update to 12.8.
