FFS can't sync files blocked by Windows that came from an untrusted source

Hi,

First of all I'd like to thank you for provindig this excellent software!

I have a minor issue however:
I'm trying to backup the contents of a Windows File Server. Almost all the files are synced without an issue, but there are some that it fails with. I get an "Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified. (BackupWrite)" error message. I found that all these files' properties are marked with a "This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer" notification. When I "Unblock" them they sync just fine.
My question is:
Would it be possible to sync these files without manual interaction? (Without having to unblock them one-by-one)

The problem seem to be broken ADS entries as discussed here: viewtopic.php?t=446
Are you able to copy these files via Windows Explorer?

Hi,

After manually copying those files the sync seems to work.
Thanks!
