Sounds like /cygdrive is mounted as /, which means C: is mounted as /c. Then bash interprets ? as the wildcard for a single character and C: is the first drive that shows up. Try "robocopy '/?'" or "robocopy /\?". As an experiment, try "echo /?" at a bash prompt. You should also see a line that begins "none / cygdrive" in the output of "mount -m". - Barry Disclaimer: Statements made herein are not made on behalf of NIAID. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
