At least it isn't me. I can't get /ED to work period, No directories 
will process? And leaving the trailing slash off the empty 
directories gets them handled as non existant files. Finally, just 
giving up and putting a dummy file in the empty directories (there 
were actually 2) gets the job done. Kludge.

DPE.DUS was a previous bitch where it's being selected for copy 
(when not present in the destination) even thought it's specifically 
excluded. Again I finally just gave up and put it there. There was 1 
other Mystery file (present on source & destination) that tried to 
copy every time even though it had just been. This ah, was one of 
those invisible errors on my part!

BTW, the RX series of options looks interesting, but John's HTML 
help file indicates a booger there too.
