Oh, well spotted.

Many (most?) laptop users of F14 will be dual-booting and a lot of 
those users will want to exchange files between the two environments. 
     If the problem has been caused by the recent release then a lot 
of folk could have problems. It would be very useful to find out what 
'is' causing this problem and whether it 'is' introduced with the 
updated drivers.  (So that then we can raise a bug report and get it 
fixed.)

This might be necessary as a short-term work-around.

If the OP 'did' have time or the opportunity to run the checks that 
Jon suggested, maybe posting some results here (both for copying 'to' 
the backup, and copying 'from' the backup back to 'home'), I think 
that would help us get a firmer resolution, but that's asking a lot if 
this is an easy 'fix' for him/her.
