Subject  :  /RX switch problem....
Size(KB) :  0


When I run this command:

xxcopy z:\data k:\backup\data /CLONE /Q1 /oE3 /FF /PB /NX0 /RX

...it prompts me to delete directories from the dst, even though they
DO exist in the src. Without the /RX switch, it doesn't prompt me to
do that, and it doesn't delete those directories (and it shouldn't,
because they do exist in the src.) The documentation says "/RX:
Removes files in dst which are absent in src (no copying)." So why is
/RX trying to delete files in the dst that are *present* in the src?

That set of switches, excluding /RX, almost does what I want. The
only problem is that it prompts me to delete any dst dirs that are
absent in the src... I thought /RX would fix that, but it doesn't. 
What switch am I missing?
