   Got it!  I already had the network connection, but the script wasn't   
   running.  I added the quotes around the paths and the /y switch and it works   
   perfectly.   
      
   Note:  I didn't use a mapped drive so that on a reboot, I didn't want them   
   to get a message that the network location was not available and possibly   
   disconnect the mapped drive.   
      
   Thanks all!!

   verify you can access the share on the remote computer:   
      
   dir \\server\copy folder   
      
   If this succeeds then verify you can create a file in this location:   
      
   xcopy somefile.txt \\server\copy folder
