Can someone explain to me why this generates the error "Invalid number of
parameters" and what I am missing?

xcopy //chi-dc1/iamacro$/IAMacro.dot c:\documents and
settings\%username%\application data\microsoft\word\startup /r /k /y

You must use quotes in filenames containing spaces:

xcopy //chi-dc1/iamacro$/IAMacro.dot "c:\documents and
settings\%username%\application data\microsoft\word\startup" /r /k /y

Uninstall X-copy, reboot computer then re-install software. Looks like it
can't find a place to place the tempy files it makes or there isn't enough
space to process files on your hard drive. You will need at least 4 gig.

No, that's what I first thought but it doesn't work that way either.

C:\Scripts>xcopy //chi-dc1/iamacro$/IAMacro.dot "c:\documents and
settings\rstat
on\application data\microsoft\word\startup\" /r /k /y
Invalid number of parameters

======================
I think (maybe wrong) that it's the use of % signs causing the problem. The
Xcopy command may be trying to interpret the % signs as replaceable
parameters as used in early versions of Xcopy / batch files. Although
replaceable parameters aren't mentioned in the help for Win2000 version of
Xcopy replaceable parameters still work. Can you substitute something else
for the % signs to see if it works?

I don't think that's it because when the script is run the screen does show
the actual username in place of the variable.

IE:

C:\Scripts>xcopy //chi-dc1/iamacro$/IAMacro.dot "c:\documents and
settings\rstat
on\application data\microsoft\word\startup\" /r /k /y
Invalid number of parameters
