You didn't say if both machines are the same version of Windows and/or 
running the same file structure (FAT/FAT32/NTFS).

If there is a dissimilarity of file systems that could cause you pain.

Why not use this form:

xxcopy "f:\Palm\KjellbT\" "R:\Palm\KjellbT\" /clone /ff3 /yy /OA"BackupLog.
txt"

That's what I use for the same purpose when one of my machines is running 
XP Pro/NTFS and the other Win98SE/FAT32
