[svn-r22594] Bug fix: HDFFV-8105
Description: The test command in COPY_TESTFILES_TO_TESTDIR used the wrong operator -a which means and. It is not sufficient to test mere existence as $tstfile could have been a directory or other non-file things. If the file is not readable, the $CP command would fail but its return code was not checked. Solution: Get rid of the test command and go ahead to $CP it and then check its returned code and report errors if detected. Tested; committested. (note that ostrick still failed on errors committed by other staff).

+ - h5diff: Fixed the Function COPY_TESTFILES_TO_TESTDIR() of
+ testh5diff.sh to better report when there is an error in the file
+ copying. HDFFV-8105 (AKC -2012/07/22)
- h5diff: Fixed not to check and display dangling link status without
--follow-symlinks option. This also improved performance when
comparing lots of external links without the --follow-symlinks
