The xxcopy utility works but the freeware version forces you to push 
enter with each invocation.  Currently the backup script has many 
xcopies copying config files, source directories, etc from here and 
there, some copies take quite a while (hours over wireless) if there has 
been a change.  So sitting watching it was not what I had in mind.  
Looks like the cheapest licence for xxcopy is US$40 (1.5x that for me) 
and for that much dinero I could buy a backup program at the local 
computer store!  So since Samba does not seem to work right with xcopy I 
guess I'm back to implementing my own copy solution unless someone has 
some other thoughts.  BTW, an append on the Samba forum about this has 
brought forth no response to date...

Kind regards,
