You may want to look at files with spaces in the directory or filename.
Sometimes Windows chokes on spaces.  If that is the case, most of the time
double quotes around the filename fixes it.

Hi Barry,

Thanks. I don't think that is what is happening because it is
intermittant. One day it will work and the next it won't. I suspect that
there is some kind of subtle network problem (i.e., something is timing
out, etc.) so that's why I'd like to get a more descriptive error message.

The way that I am doing it (i.e., just calling the function on the whole
path name) there is no way to get a logged output of individual
filenames. However, I do know that when this happens, no files get copied
(because a dialog box comes up during the copy and shows the files being
copied, but that only comes up when there is no error. When the error
happens, the function returns immediately).
