Package. . . Cannot copy necessary linked file(s)

I created a publication based on a previous one. It's in a new folder with the default [fonts] and [lins] subfolders. Preflight shows no linking errors. Since there are numerous unused graphics in the link folder (from the old version), I wish to create a new package before sending to production. I get the above error with no explanation. How do I do this without manually copying every link (70) and font (46)?

This is CS3 on Vista Home Premium.

I had a image file with a forward slash ("/") in the name that was causing the issue for me.

Do you have enough room and permissions to save the files to the new folder?

One workaround. Select all the links in the links panel and from the panel menu choose copy links to and select a new location.

No issue with space or permissions. In fact, I just packaged another publication with no issues. Your work-around is great, didn't know that was there.
