Hi Mike,

To start with you have got 2 things wrong in your srmcp command (below) :

a) CERN srm doesn't support "managerv1", only "managerv2".
b) I am not sure that the path /castor/cern.ch/user/b/bachtis/ exists in CERN 
Castor ! Is it ?

 From which machine you are executing the srmcp command ?

Next, why do you want to copy files to CERN from our dCache ? Is there any 
problem running your jobs at Wisc ? If so, we should address that first. As you 
know, you can submit jobs (to condor) from your desktop or the login machines 
here. Also, you can submit CRAB jobs from anywhere to Wisconsin to run on the 
samples that we have on our dCache. If you are having problems with CRAB 
submissions, then we need to address that too.

Also (as you probably know) we have the FAQ page ( 
http://www.hep.wisc.edu/cms/comp/faq.html) available from the "User 
Documentation" link from our T2 computing page which contains some information 
about accessing/copying files from our dCache. But in your case, you need to 
specify the correct path to an (user) area at CERN Castor if it exits.

Thanks,
- Ajit
