Am I missing something obvious - how do you copy in/out from HFS disks?

You should check out a Sun 386i (Road Runner). It handles UNIX/DOS filesystem
transfer operations transparently. One does *not* have to use a UNIX/DOS
filesystem transfer program at all on a Road Runner. If you believe mfs and
kermit are adequate then you should expect other A/UX unhappy campers. I have
test drove a Road Runner and their UNIX/DOS filesystem transparency works. I
am not regurgitating marketing hype read in some tabloid. UNIX and DOS Windows
with the same coherent view of the filesystem. Nice and easy...
When is A/UX going to catch up ?
