you're not the first person to make this mistake, so i should
have remembered this problem.  sorry.

you need to mount both new and old afresh in /n/ and copy
using your destination as /n/new and source as /n/old.  using
/ as your source doesn't work because you have many things other
than the file server intended mounted.  for example, your first
error messages are because #c is mounted on /dev.
