Better yet, what version of bos.rte.commands are you running?
lslpp -l bos.rte.commands
There was a problem with using cp -p in an early release of AIX 5.1. I
think it was officially fixed within ML3. The version of
bos.rte.commands that contained the fix was 5.1.0.25. Please contact
IBM for more information or clarification.
HTH,
JJackson

This is the error that you can see when a piece of software has not
been compiled to support large files. What cp command are you running?
Some old versions of GNU tools and possibly old AIX versions couldn't
deal with files larger than 2 Gb.
Are you on an old version of AIX? Are you sure you're running
/usr/bin/cp
and not some other binary?
Good luck,
