Are there different kinds of "success" in effect here?
Well, maybe only in our case. ;-)
If nobody else has any worries about it, I'm OK with it.

The user is saying "no" to the whole high level operation, not to
a single partial transfer. In that case, you shouldn't even
attempt to partial xfer in the target beneath, I would say. A thrown
error for those cases looks like the way to go. Perhaps even better
would be to be able to foretell if the transfer is going to be
problematic and warn/query upfront, but it's hard in some cases.
