Vista - copy folder to a network share???

Hopefully someone can help me see what is going on with a little .cmd file
that I wanted to copy data from WindowsXP PCs to a network share. First, the
command :

\\dc1\readme\robocopy.exe "%USERPROFILE%\My Documents" "%HOMESHARE%\My
Documents" /COPYALL /v /NP /R:2 /w:3

And the SET info from one of the PCs:
HOMEDRIVE=Z:
HOMEPATH=\
HOMESHARE=\\Dc1\Users\jwayne
LOGONSERVER=\\DC1
USERNAME=jwayne
USERPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\jwayne

If this command is run from any of the PCs for the first time it will create
a folder in the %HOMESHARE% folder on the network, but instead of calling it
"My Documents" as the command says, it calls it "teacher's Documents". I
have no idea why. And it copies no data into the folder on the network, but
I am unsure whether that is correct or not, because I do not know where this
"teacher's documents" folder is. Any idea where I went wrong? thanks

instance of the Command Processor other than the one you used for the
robocopy command. To be sure that you're looking at the right thing, you
should use a batch file similar to this one:
@echo off
set > c:\set.txt
\\dc1\readme\robocopy.exe "%USERPROFILE%\My Documents" "%HOMESHARE%\My
Documents" /COPYALL /v /NP /R:2 /w:3

Now have a look at c:\set.txt and see if the apparent contradiction still
exists.

Thanks. Even from the code you sent the SET parameters are still the same as I pasted before and this mysterious "teacher" does not show up in there anywhere. Any other ideas of what I might have done wrong?

news:uW6g0MPTKHA.1280@newsgroupWhat you report goes against everything known about accessing file shares
and environmental variables. To really nail down what you claim, run the
self-documenting batch file below, then post the contents of c:\test.txt.

@echo off
if exist "%HOMESHARE%\My Documents" (
echo Sorry, the folder "%HOMESHARE%\My Documents" already exists.
echo Please save its files elsewhere, then delete the folder."
echo.
pause
goto :eof
)

if exist "%HOMESHARE%\Teacher's Documents" (
echo Sorry, the folder "%HOMESHARE%\Teacher's Documents" already exists.
echo Please save its files elsewhere, then delete the folder."
echo.
pause
goto :eof
)

echo %date% %time% > c:\test.txt
set >> c:\test.txt
echo. >> c:\test.txt
echo Source folder=%USERPROFILE%\My Documents >> c:\test.txt
echo Target folder=%HOMESHARE%\My Documents >> c:\test.txt
\\dc1\readme\robocopy.exe "%USERPROFILE%\My Documents" "%HOMESHARE%\My
Documents" /COPYALL /v /NP /R:2 /w:3 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1
echo. >> c:\test.txt
echo Contents of %HOMESHARE%\My Documents: >>c:\test.txt
dir "%HOMESHARE%\My Documents" 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1
echo. >> c:\test.txt
echo Contents of %HOMESHARE%\Teacher's Documents: >>c:\test.txt
dir "%HOMESHARE%\Teacher's Documents" 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1
echo. >> c:\test.txt
set >> c:\test.txt
echo %date% %time% >> c:\test.txt

thanks for your help. The script helped me see more clearly what I was looking at. The problem is with Windows Explorer showing the folder name that is created by the script as "teacher's documents" and the actual name is "My Documents" as shown with a "dir \\DC1\jwayne\"

Still not sure why Explorer shows this different name, but I guess I get to that later. thanks for your help with the script.
