Vista - robocopy issues (Vista version)

Hello, I am using robocopy to backup my files with a cmd-script to an
external USB harddisk: I see some issues with the versions which come with
vista, maybe you can improve that with an update.

1. It does not give return codes back. So my script can not work with the
"if ERRORLEVEL ..." statement. The version XP010 from server 2003 ressource
kit does.

2. When the target harddrive is full, robocopy does not stop. I don't know
what it does, but it continues endless accessing the the target drive. I
haven't found an option to stop that behaviour.

3. When copying c:\users\name\AppData\ then there is an endless recoursion
in the folder
c:\users\name\AppData\Anwendungsdaten\Anwendungsdaten\Anwendungsdaten\Anwendungsdaten\Anwendungsdaten\Anwendungsdaten\Anwendungsdaten\...

(Anwendungsdaten is the german translation for Application Data.) Every
level of that folder contains the files from Anwendungsdaten. That path is so
deep that you can not delete it with Windows Explorer. The only method to
delete it, was to run robocopy again with an empty source folder and
c:\users\name\AppData\Anwendungsdaten as the target using the /mir option.
