/NX0 <-- the third letter is zero.

Next time, you get into problem where a switch is rejected, just
type /HELP with it and it will give you a list of switches that
start with the same alphabet.

xxcopy /nxo /help // works even when it is misspelled
xxcopy /nx0 /help


It cancels the default XXCOPY operation, /NX which
tries to preserve the SFN. In your case, it is necessary.
XXCOPY uses a lot of switches most of which are really
"hidden" as default settings.

A typical copy operation in XXCOPY is controlled by a
set of switches like the following...

/AXH /AXS /B0 /C /CB0 /CCY /CK /CL1G /CR3 /D0 /DL0 /E0 /EC0 /ED0 /ER0 /F0
/FM0 /FF0 /FL /FT0 /FW /H0 /I0 /IN* /K0 /L0 /N0 /NP /NX /NI0 /NW /NC0 /o0
/oD1 /oE0 /oF1 /oI0 /oP0 /oS0 /oX0 /oL3 /P0 /PB0 /PC0 /PD0 /Po /WU /PZ0 /Q0
/QF0 /QB0 /QS0 /R0 /S0 /SP0 /SG0 /SX0 SZ:- /T0 /TR00 /TS0 /TD0 /TTA0 /TCA0
/TCC0 /TCW /TM0 /U0 /V0 /W0 /WD /WV /Z0 /ZE0 /ZS0 /ZX0

See the /NX in the list. Unless you disable it by /NX0, XXCOPY will
try to preserve the SFN in the destination that was the cause of
the funny directory names you saw in your destination directory.
