Finder while copying file raise error code -36

I am trying to copy some files, lots of data (about 45 GB) from my internal hard drive to an external USD hard disk and I receive an error:

the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in <file name> could nor be read or written (error code -36)

I have then tried to copy only that particular file and it failed. It reproduces at will for this particular file. I have run Disk Utility on my local hard disk, I have repaired the permissions but the error still persists. Anybody has any suggestions?

MacBook3,1 white 2 GHz, 4GB, 200 GB 7200 rpm, Mac OS X (10.5.6), iPhone 3G 16 GB, Airport Express, ACD 20''
