It might be a good time to rescue as many important files as you can. I made the following relevant entry in SuperDuper's forum:

Hmm, I wonder... try this: select the file you're not able to copy. Control-click it. From the contextual menu that comes up, choose to make an archive of the file. What happens?

If you have TechTool Deluxe, run it; do only a "Surface Scan." What's the result?
 
the file is on an external drive and it will archive it but it will not let me move it to the internal drive
 
Is the external HD format for OSX? When I purchased my Lacie drive, I was eager to get it up and running and started dragging files to it, and got the same error. I went to disk utility and found it formatted for windows. Formatted the drive for OSX and have not looked back.
