Unless this is another typo it is your problem. There is an extra backslash
after G: With a long path it is sometimes easier to make sure you are
explicitly in the directory where the files are located.

e.g.

G:
CD \CURRENT_FOLDER
XCOPY G:*.* H:\copy_files_here\ /EXCLUDE:FILELIST.TXT

Make sure FILELIST.TXT and the files to be copied are in this directory.
