I do not know what's wrong in your case, but I think I have found another bug in duplicate or copy. When I click on a disk I want to copy, then select duplicate from the WB menu, then I click on the disk I wanted to duplicate so it not is higliighted anymore, then I select CANCEL on the requester an the Amiga GURU.
I use Kickstart 34.5 and wb 34.4. Is this an old bug? Is it ixed in V2.0?
