Is there some reason why you are not using "cp" to accomplish your task? "cp --help" should provide you with all sorts of options for copying files. You should be able to press "cp" into service for this. Using DOS utilities and DOS paths for this type of thing is putting you on the fringes of support for Cygwin. I really wouldn't recommend it. Clearly this is not such a Windows-specific problem that it outside of the capabilities of a UNIX solution.
My initial attempt was with cp. But I didn't see a way of preserving the original directory structure of the source dir, inside the destination directory. XCOPY just seemed easier. Will have a go at 'cp' again.
