At what point in time do you get this message?
What types of filename are giving you this message?
Might it not be a "file", but a directory path or even a device that is not available?

(thanks for answering, I didn't get the notification)

when I launch a batch operation to copy all the pdf from a mac desktop to an external drive.

Cannot read file attributes of "/Volumes/Expansion/Magazine/Saramago, José".
this maybe a directory [lstat]
Cannot read file attributes of "/Volumes/Expansion/Magazine/teoria della relatività - Alberto Strumia.pdf".
and this a file

they don't exist, but why are they searched for???
this is the source:
