Most task scheduler error codes are generated by the command
you're running, i.e. xcopy.exe in your case. Add some basic
diagnostics and you'll soon see what's going on:
xcopy /s /y /.... "c:\SomeFolder\..." "d:\Other Folder\..."
1>c:\test.log 2>c:\test.err
What do the two log files tell you when you run the job?
