Are you opening a DOS window first or are you running xxcopy
from a batch file or from Start->Run ?

Add the following to your xxcopy command.

/on:xxcopy.log/oe3/we60

If you are using a batch file or Run command, open a DOS
window first then run the xxcopy command. When it finishes,
see if xxcopy.log contains information to help you pinpoint
the error. The /we60 command should cause xxcopy to wait
60 seconds when the command has completed to give you a
chance to see any error messages although this may not happen
if xxcopy is crashing.

Odd version number (typo?) and now fairly old. Maybe try a newer
version. Have you applied any service packs recently. That might
explain the change in behaviour. A newer version should help.
