Robocopy from 2008 R2 to 2016 Oddity

I am preparing to migrate one of our file servers from 2008 R2 to 2016, both virtual.  The files appear to copy without an issue to the new server, but when I attempt to access the folder with Windows Explorer, I get an error "You don't currently have permission to access this folder.  Click Continue to permanently get access to this folder."  If I go into Properties and then the Security tab, it tells me "you must have read permissions to view the properties of this object.  Click Advanced to continue."  If I click Advanced, the owner area says "Unable to display current owner." and the permissions tab basically repeats the Read permissions to view properties error but tells me to hit continue.  If I hit Continue, it shows me the security.  I have tried to a few different things but can't seem to get this working and was hoping for some feedback.

The command I am using and running from the 2016 box is.

robocopy "\\2008R2Server\data\Folder" "D:\Data\Folder" /Log:D:\_Migration\Logs\Data.txt /LEV:0 /NP /R:1 /W:10 /E /TEE /MIR /xf *.pst

I have tried adding /COPYALL.  I tried copying files in reverse, meaning going from 2008 R2 to 2016.  All with the same result.  What is interesting is that I copied this script from a previous file server migration I performed but that was 2008R2 to 2012R2. 

Thanks for any assistance.


EDIT : Forgot to state that I am looking to keep the security that was set on the 2008 R2 file server.  I am also using my Domain Admin account that is an administrator on both servers.  I have full control on everything.
