What exactly happens when you try to run the batch file? And if you 
go to a command prompt and type:

xxcopy /?

and press ENTER what happens?

If you get an error something like the one below

'xxcopy' is not recognized as an internal or external command, 
operable program or batch file.

Then either xxcopy is no longer installed, or has been moved, or you 
may have a problem in your path. From that same command prompt type 
PATH then press ENTER. The directory that xxcopy is installed in 
should be listed in the output of the path command. If it is not 
then you'll either need to add that directory to the path or use the 
full path to xxcopy in your batch file. e.g.

C:\WINNT\system32\XXCOPY.EXE
