Strange error codes using TeraCopy to transfer files to home fileserver

I'm transferring about 8tb from an internal 8tb SSD to a new QNAP NAS that's running two 16tb HDD's in RAID1. Over the course of the several days that the files have been copying, I'm getting some intermittent error messages regarding the transfer. Here's a few examples:

I'm not sure why these errors are occurring. The system cannot find the file specified? You clearly found the file, since you're trying to copy it and know its name and created an error log describing the file...?

And "error opening source file"? Why are you trying to open anything? All you're supposed to do is copy it.

Any ideas what might be going on here?

Can you manually open the files such as unzip or with a media player? Is it simply limited to the MAME directory for all matches?

So far, it appears to only be throwing errors with files in the MAME directory, yes.

I just navigated over to F:\Games\Arcade\MAME 0.250 EXTRAs and tried to open covers_SL.zip with 7zip and it throws the same error. That's weird. I'm not sure how these files became corrupted. So TeraCopy won't even copy them over if it's discovered the archives are corrupted? I guess that's fine since I don't have any use for corrupted files.

Now I just navigated to F:\Games\Arcade\MAME 0.250 Multimedia\soundtrack\3countb and 3countb.txt doesn't even exist (even if viewing hidden files)...what the hell?

I also just navigated over to the directory for these errors:

F:\Games\Arcade\MAME 0.250 Multimedia\soundtrack\vendetta\12 Bay Area (Stage 4).mp3
13:09:53: Error opening source file. The system cannot find the file specified. Code: 2
13:09:53: ------------
13:09:53: F:\Games\Arcade\MAME 0.250 Multimedia\soundtrack\vendetta\13 The Armageddon (Final Boss).mp3
13:09:53: Error opening source file. The system cannot find the file specified. Code: 2

Those files are also missing from the directory...

But tracks 1 through 11 and 14 on, are all there.

I don't get it. They *were* there until TeraCopy went to copy them and then they...disappeared? Teracopy...removed them? Either that, or Teracopy somehow knows they're supposed to be there and is expecting them, but they've always not been there.

This is getting really strange now.

I'd be investigating that source of corruption, could be malware or RAM bit flips.
