If you have no plan to boot on that one later, simply use chmod/chown to change the user folder's permissions.
sudo chmod 755 -R /Path/To/The/Disk/Users/
sudo chown root:wheel -R /Path/To/The/Disk/Users/
Remove sudo if you are logged as root.

sudo chmod 755 -R [folder]
I opened terminal in the Users folder and ran that command on the one I wanted to copy. We'll see what happens!

chmod should be enough, though macOS uses some special attributes to lock/hide folders.

Yeah... no change. Folder is still blocked. Is there a parameter I need to add to make it read/write?
EDIT: I tried sudo chmod -R ugo+rw as well. No joy.

By the way, I wound up borrowing a macbook from a buddy f mine and using it to boot into the old iMac drive.
I appreciate all the help.

I see AOU is working through this with you, but if you can't get it going, you could try booting an OSX image and work through it from there.
I haven't run a hackintosh since OSX Snow Leopard, but iAtkos builds were what I used to use.

A fine idea! Let's hope I can get the simple file-copy to work. If not I can set it up so I can boot from the drive.

How about sudo chmod 777 -R /path/*
That should blow away all permissions.

No joy here either. I've got to go focus on work for a bit. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's probably mounted as ro then, you'll need to mount -o rw or mount -o remount,rw

Yeah, that's what I've got to figure out when I have time to pay some actual attention to what I'm doing. :-D
