Rather than removing the line, I recommend inserting a few lines to print
the values of preserve_mode, preserve_times and preserve_symlinks. This
should tell you which variable has the unexpected value.
To my eyes, it seems odd that copy_tree is being called with
preserve_symlinks=1 given what the assertion says.
