Hi,
As a temporary workaround, log whatever exception is thrown (raise), then once 
you figure out what's what (likely OS error), tell users that file copying has 
failed like:
Try:
        Shutil.copy(source, target)
Except whateverException:
        Raise()
This will force add-on handler to give up.
Cheers,
Joseph

This is why you can't see anything in the log:

                                try:
                                        
shutil.copy(os.path.join(globalVars.appArgs.configPath,
"reportPasswords.ini"), os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),
"globalPlugins"))
                                except:
                                        pass

You're silencing any exceptions that do occur.  So if the copy operation is 
failing due to previously-opened file handles that weren't disposed of properly 
for example, you'll never see that error.
