No, I didn't try /PZ0. Is that different from /PD0, which Kan suggested?

But how could /YY possibly delete any files that I didn't want it to?
The only thing I'm telling it to do is:

/CLONE -- make an exact copy of the filetree
/FF -- kludgey fix for timestamp stuff
/NX0 -- suppress another prompt that happens about ten million times

So... it seems to me that saying /YY is just like saying "PS - I mean
it." What else could it delete if I haven't specified anything else?
