RoboCopy lied?

Late last year we went through a large storage transition - Netapp 7-mode to cDOT and I used a robocopy script to do some migration of CIFS shares.  Long story short, the log file from robocopy has several examples as follows:

2 \\x.x.x.x\etc etc\etc\etc

This makes it appear that 2 files were successfully copied into that folder, however the destination folder is empty.  CIFS share to CIFS share.

Has anyone ever seen this before?  No errors, no permissions issues (in theory?)  Is there any hope?  I've tried navigating to the share i powershell, also shows empty.

Let me know if you need any more info...

Thanks.

I've seen some issues with robocopy not properly setting the archive bit, therefore it wouldnt copy the files? Would that be applicable in my case? Still confused on why it would say two in the log file - unless I am interpreting that wrong as well?
