'bout the only quirk I can see is you have your "TO" file in quotes...
by the exact syntax specifications, double quotes around the "TO" file isn't
allowed.
uhmmmm and I believe the main reason for quotes around the "FROM" file is if
you use wildcards...
try without the quotes on the "TO" file just for grins (to eliminate that
from a possible cause)
