Hey Thomas
Two thoughts..
One being if the long path name has spaces you'll probably have to surround
them in quotes.
set var scanname = ((char(39)) + .scanname + (char(39)))
set var Imgsname= ((char(39)) + .Imgsname+ (char(39)))
The second would be to combine the whole command like:
set var vm_cmd = ('COPY ' + .scanname + ' ' + .Imgsname)
and run it like:
&vm_cmd
