before reporting bugs, it would be a good idea to report with a recent
kernel (although I don't expect a difference).

with both of your tries?

COPY? XCOPY? VC COPY?

does
  COPY C:*.* NUL
work? is that related to the destination being
remote?

of course 'errors' might have more meaningful messages other then
'error'.

again, the name of the copiying program might be helpful.

in a DOS environment (other then windows), most things are
reproducable. i.e. the same batch should always result in the same
results.so document your steps. usually in a .BAT file.

however your above 'my actions result in error' could be better.
