You are, I suspect, copying /d1 to /x1, which changes the LSN0 data of 
/x1.  The error 245 is "write error", I had in mind it was "disk changed", 
the more usual problem in these scenes.  So the following advice may be 
bogus.

Most such copies should start at LSN1, copying the rest of the image, then 
come back and do LSN0 all by itself.

Then eject the dw4 drive, then re mount it, which will force rbf to reload 
LSN0 so it has valid data.
