Here's what I'd change, Jamie>

xxcopy c:\vsecfg.cab "\\MT210030\C\program files\network 
associates\VirusScan\MID)/"

I'm a bit put off by the ")" after =MID but that's a legal character so it 
should work just fine. It's the space between "network" and "associates" 
that confused the line parser. The double quotes surrounding the string 
take care of that.
