It looks like you're trying to install in-place. The destination
directory MUST NOT be the same as the source directory with the classic
install.
First, copying files over themselves destroys them, as you've seen. :(
Second, the maintenance scripts are very unsafe to have sitting around
in a web-accessible directory (they are disabled if you run the web
install). If using classic install, you must install from a different
directory from the final destination.
I'll add more warnings...
