I think the log-in user is probably different. That is,
the problem is nothing to do with XXCOPY (not NetWare-specific).
The same problem will probably happen even with as simple
command as DIR or COPY that is put into the batch file.
It's probably the security (user permission) related issue.

What you need to do is to change the settings of the batch
file environment. Usually, when you run create an icon
that represent the batch file, you should be able to
add the log-in settings at the property sheet (right-click
on the icon and go into the advanced feature setting where
you should find the log-in user and password entries).
