TFile::Cp() ---> problems?

Hi all,

    I have some problems in copying a file from local to alien. As you will see from below, the TFile::Cp() returns 1, but if I then list in alien the file is not there. And During the copy I get an error coming from TFile::GetSize(). In particular, what I do is just the following:

        root [0] TGrid::Connect("alien://")

As you see, apparently everything is fine., but the file is not there... Any clue?
Thanks in advance.
