Uh, unless you've already CD'ed to the proper dir on E: (or to some
other subdir) and it is the current dir, then you are specifically writing
it to the root with "e:". You have to qualify fully: SA/NV E:\XY4 --
then it works as you expect.

But if you want it to copy to the _corresponding_ directory -- e.g., if
source=C:\DOCS then target=E:\DOCS -- but it could be one of several
subdirs, then you need something much more sophisticated -- in fact, you
need the assistance of XMACRO in XYWWWEB.U2. Assuming Jumbo U2 is
installed, this assignment does it:

nn=XHBXs,a,Q2JM2,.,P,r,s,K,b,d,A,r,g,Q2x,m, ,[,S,X,0,1,CO,[,V,A,$,F,P,],],
[,S,X,0,1,CO,[,V,A,@,0,1,:,2,],],COB,X,s,a,/,n,v, ,C,:,[,P,V,0,1,],Q,2,NO

(You better be sure that you actually have corresponding subdirs on E:,
otherwise you got errors.)
