Then why haven't you tried it from a cmd prompt, while in the source
directory, with the exclude file in the source directory, with no path names
in the command line other than the destination directory? This will help to
diagnose if it is a path related problem. I suggested this and your response
was:

What do you mean "make sure [I am] explicitly in the directory"? I am
running the batch file FROM the destination laptop...

Then you went off on a tangent about the /EXCLUDE parameter.

I then posted again repeating the instructions and you said you don't know
where the file is. If you don't know where it is how do you copy it in the
first place? If it is a network share then just map a drive to that share.
You seem unable or unwilling to understand and follow directions. I'm not
trying to put you down. Diagnosing a problem by newsgroup is frustrating at
the best of times. When you keep repeating that you are following directions
when you clearly aren't it is even more frustrating.
