Hi,
The command line below doesn't look right. If I type XXCOPY 
(with no parameters), it tells me:
src specifies the source file(s)or directory to copy
dst specifies the destination directory (NO FILE NAMES)

xxcopy "D:\My Documents\My Pictures\SEB\My Jams\2001-12-24
\Jam001.jpg" "z:\My Documents\My Pictures\SEB\My 
Jams\2001-12-24\Jam001.jpg"

Could the added name be the problem in your examples?
Also, end destination with a backslash.
