OSX Disk Copy & Restore Probs

I'm having problems with Disk Copy and restoring an image and would appreciate any help ~ obviously I'm a newbie on OSX. Before performing a fresh Jaguar install on my cube, I used Disk Copy -> New Image from Folder -> Using Compression and No Encryption to create a backup of my MP3 files in iTunes. The result is a file called MUSIC.DMG. I then copied the music.dmg file via SMB to my LAN and to a PC mounted drive used for storage space. Reinstalled Jaguar, re-copied the file to Desktop and ran diskcopy. However, I could not get the extracted file?? Diskcopy runs, but no extract? For Grims, I did a test on my office iMac (also on Jaguar), ran diskcopy on mp3 files and then restored them with no problems. Any ideas? Is it something with permissions and copying the file to/from the pc share that may have changed the rights? Otherwise, I'm stuck! Thanks as always for any feedback or suggestions.
 
OK - I resolved the problem. Check in Preferences the 'Ignore invalid Checksums' box and whammo it worked. My music library is restored!!
