MS-DOS 6.22 xcopy or copy hangs when copying to shared folder

Message:

I've used xcopy copy large directory structures to and from a shared folder
without any problem. However, when xcopy'ing a directory structure that has
around 20 1K files, each in it's own subdirectory a to a shared folder on my
host PC the VM hangs on the 4th file. The same happens if I create a batch
file using copy for each file. When I remove the offending file out of the
directory structure the next file becomes the problem. The offeding directory
structure can be xcopy'd to new directory on the VM without a problem. Just
to double check, I tried xcopy from the new directory to the shared folder,
and the same problem occurs.

The xcopy'ing is part of a job that gets run each day, so it's a pain. In
the end zipping the files and unzipping them withing the VM to the shared
folder was the workaround.

Is this a DOS 6.22 problem within the VM? Has anyone else experienced the
same and was there a solution other than zipping the files?

I recall doing this back when I used Dos 6.22, and I have just recently
created a 6.22 VM setup and have similar things, so it's not a normaly
behavior.

My oly advice is be sure you are running VPC 2004 SP1, as SP1 added a
ton of critical DOS & Win 3.11 functionality, and you might have ran
into something that was fixed in SP1.

Hmmm. I'm running VPC 2004 SP1. Just for good measure, I've moved the set-up
to another PC, but still get the same problem. Very frustrating. In any
event, thanks for the response.
