Robocopy access violation

I've been using a few simple robocopy scripts to back up a system to a
network drive. It now fails with an access violation when trying to read any
of the source files on the system. The source files are not in use and can
be manually copied or even deleted without problems.

I tried disabling Norton Internet Security, even though I have a very
similar system with Norton IS that still works fine with robocopy. After
turning off everything I could find, the same access violation occurs.

I'm logged on as an admin and the security settings appear to be correct.

Any ideas on what the problem might be or how to troubleshoot it?

You should post the script you use and report what makes you
think that the error message is generated by robocopy.

You should also report HOW you run the script, i.e. by invoking
it directly or via the Task Scheduler.

Lastly you should tell us what exactly you mean by "manually copied".
