copy user profile

[Keith]

I am trying to copy a user profile from one user to another and I get the
error message

"failed to set security on destination profile access denied"



The destination folder is the user directory under "Documents and Settings"
I changed the security settings on this folder, but still same problem. I
then changed the destination folder to a folder I created called "c:\test".
Same problem.



What am I missing? This should work.
