Values of <arg> tag's value parameter must not contain spaces, AFAIK.
I don't know if it is stated in documentation but my exprience shows
that this is the answer.
Each arg element defines exactly one argument to the program being executed. Imagine that each arg could be surrounded by quotes if passed on the command line. Hence
<exec program="xcopy" ...
<arg value="my" />
<arg value="certain file" />
....is equivalent to typing
xcopy "my" "certain file"
which is perfectly fine, even though there are spaces in the second arg. It copies the file "my" to the file "certain file". But if you use
<arg value="-f C:\Doucments and Settings\JohnDoe\My Documents\someFile" />
then you get
xcopy "my certain file"
which is an error, since it thinks that the file you want to copy is called "my certain file" but you didn't say where to copy it.
