[Wylug-help] cp backup problem

I'm having problems with the following:

cp /home/anne/Backups/std.vcf /Data/Backup/std_1.vcf
cp /home/anne/Backups/std_1.vcf /Data/Backup/std_2.vcf
cp /home/anne/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf /Data/Backup/

which gives rise to 

cp: setting attributes for `/Data/Backup/std_1.vcf': Operation not supported
cp: setting attributes for `/Data/Backup/std_2.vcf': Operation not supported
cp: setting attributes for `/Data/Backup/std.vcf': Operation not supported

/Data is on a separate partition:

drwxrwxr-t  37 anne users  2048 Jul 15 17:43 Data/

What is this attribute problem?  I used to run an almost identical script, but 
that was within my home directory.  All the same, it feels like permissions, 
but I can't see why.
