Subject  :  Exit code for creating directory structure incorrect
Size(KB) :  1


In using xxcopy to duplicate a directory structure, although it seems 
to work properly the exit code return is 100 or 1 when using /ER. 
This differs from the expected behaviour I think. 
for e.g. using xxcopy /T /I /E ROOT1 ROOT2 for the following empty 
directory structure
ROOT1
|_SUB1
|_SUB2
\_SUB3

gives..

D:\ROOT2
D:\ROOT2\SUB1
D:\ROOT2\SUB2
D:\ROOT2\SUB3
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Directories processed = 4
Total data in bytes = 0
Elapsed time in sec. = 0.015
Action speed (MB/min) = 0
Files copied = 0
Directories created = 4
Exit code = 100 (No files were found to copy)

..when using /ER
Exit code (with /ER) = 1 (No files were found to copy)


Shouldn't the exit code be 0 ? The reason given for exit code 1 is 
that no files were found to copy, but the /T parameter is used to 
only copy a directory structure ignoring the files.
