Automator (or anything) to mass transfer one file at a time, or skip over corrupted files?

Question

I'm currently recovering files (using Disk Warrior) from a failing hard drive, but when OS X hits a corrupted file ("Error -36"), it cancels the entire transfer, rather than skipping over it.  Basically, I have to transfer one file at a time, which, on a 2TB hard drive, is going to be insanely tedious, so I was wondering if there's an automation that can transfer one file at a time, or some other way to transfer files that won't stop mid-process?

in my experience, people who know enough unix to understand what you suggested rarely ask questions about automator.  Auto-mechanics don't generally need advice on choosing an auto repair shop.
Applescript is probably the easiest way to go with this.  I don't know what the file structure of the recovered documents is, but in general you'd run something like this:
set sourceFolderPath to "/path/to/recovered items folder/"
set destinationFolderPath to "/path/to/destination folder/"
tell application "System Events"
          set theFiles to files of folder sourceFolderPath
          repeat with thisFile in theFiles
                    try
  -- move files one-by-one in an error block
                              move thisFile to folder sourceFolderPath
                    on error
  -- you can put something here to log the skipped files or display a dialog, if you like
                    end try
          end repeat
end tell
