XCopy problem

P

Hello All,
we are trying to copy files from one server to another using xcopy.

On some directories, xcopy reports the following error message:
"File creation error - The data area passed to a system call is too
small."

I tried also Robocopy - it reports the same error:
"ERROR 122 (0x0000007A) Copying File \\Servername\D$\dir1\dir2\filename
The data area passed to a system call is too small."

Does anybody know what this means and how to prevent this error?

Best regards

But I am sure, you can tell me, which of the about 650 hits in Google
will help me ...

Not really, because I don't know your system and because
I have never come across this error message. If this was my
own system then I would start at the top and work my way
through the first 20 hits. The probability his high that you will
find your solution in this way.
