Kan,

I'm not sure whether I'm misreading you or whether the behaviour has 
changed but the /da../bn works fine for me (vers 2.80.3).

In the following test, the source contains 9 .bat files with 2 which 
are less than 10 days old. The destination contains 1 file which is a 
newer copy of test.bat. /da#10 selected only the 2 files less than 10 
days old while the /bn skipped copying the older version of test.bat.

D:\temp>xxcopy *.bat f:\test /da#10 /bn

XXCOPY == Pro Edition == Ver 2.80.3 (c)1995-2002 Pixelab, Inc.

----------------------------------------------------------
D:\temp\bqtest.bat 161
D:\temp\test.bat Newer one exists
----------------------------------------------------------
Directories processed = 1
Total data in bytes = 161
Elapsed time in sec. = 0.01
Action speed (MB/min) = 0.966
Files examined = 2
Files copied = 1
Exit code = 0 (No error, Successful operation)

If, as you say, the /da#10/bn was equivalent to /bn, there would be 8 
files copied (9 source - 1 older).
