B could open the file while it is being copied, and read to the
current end of file before A has finished copying. If we used rsync
it would, by default, copy to a temporary file name in the target
directory and mv to the right name when complete, but we prefer the cp
to a temp directory and explicitly mv, because of the subsequent rsync
steps copyig out of the target directory.
