TortoiseSVN do not accept xcopy within Hook Skripts

Dear Sir or Madam,

I'd like to make a copy of my working directory after a repository commit (TortoiseSVN Commit).

So I created a batch file named "post_commit.bat" and added it to TortoiseSVN as Hook Script (Type: Post-Commit).

The batch file just contains the following line:

xcopy C:\svn_working_copy \* C:\test /S /Y

This line causes that all files and subfolders from the "svn_working_copy" directory

will be copied in the "test" directory (without asking).

The batch script itself works fine.

But when it is called up as a hook-script by TortoiseSVN (right after a commit) it just won't work!

When I am using the "copy" command instead (of xcopy) the hook script works!

But as you know it is not possible to copy subfolders with the "copy" command.

Switching the Checkboxes "Wait for the script to finish" and "Hide the script while running"

in the TortoiseSVN settings (Hook Scripts) did not show any effect on the issue.

The problem occurs with all other Hook-Script-Types (pre-commit, post-update...) as well.

So I have 2 questions.

1. Is this problem a bug?

2. Do you know any other solutions for copying the svn_working_copy (with the subdirectories) in another directory within a hook script?

The version of my TortoiseSVN Client is 1.6.5, Build 16974 - 32 Bit.

If it is possible, send your answer to mbiebl_at_xrsystems.de, please.

Thank you for your help.

With best regards
