Additional Context
We did not verify this issue on Mac due to build failure.

This error stems from a difference in how AzCopy handles a CLI invocation of a copy job vs using Node.js's child_process module. A fix for this has been verified and will ship with AzCopy 10.30.0. Currently waiting for their 10.30.0 release.
