Dear Kelly:

This one sounds like a bug. This is for everybody who will post
a bug (or a bug suspect) report: Please make sure that your post
includes

1. the XXCOPY version number that you are talking about,
2. the full command line

Here, I assume that you are running the latest official release
(ver 2.44.4). Again, I assume a typical /DB parameter like /DB#100.
that is, the command line is like

XXCOPY c:\src d:\dst /db#100 /s /rc

So far, I could not duplicate your problem on our system.
Of course it is possible that on your system, if you have
a "competing" application such as anti-virus program which
are constantly accessing (and modifying directories) the file
which was just accessed by XXCOPY and by the time the file is
to be deleted by XXCOPY, the file might be gone. That is what
the message implies. If the error message is to be believed,
then, the scenario which explains the situation is that immediately
after the source file is accessed and copied to the destination,
the source file has been either removed, renamed or otherwise
made inaccessible by another program. This is rather unsual
circumstance and the first thing you should do is to verify
if the file in question is still in the source file. Can
you copy the same file to elsewhere (that is, is the file
still there in the source directory)?

Answers to such questions would give us more info as to what
is really happening on your system. So far, what you describe
makes little sense and I cannot reproduce what you described.
What we need is detailed description.

When you make a bug report, please make sure that we do not
have to make ton's of speculative answers or to ask more
questions in order to answer the original question.
