(EDIT: Sorry in advance for bumping this old thread. Just putting this here for completeness' sake.)

Or try this very very tiny manual patch that I just figured out (easier than downloading a new version or recompiling, if you're lazy or minimalist, heh):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Older RxCopy 1.3 has a bug when trying to copy dirs w/ attribs (e.g. +r), so
either upgrade to 1.4 or unpack the UPX'd .EXE for 1.3 and make this change:


12c12
< 00001790: 807EE910 cmp b,[bp][-0017],010 ;" "
---
> 00001790: F646E910 test b,[bp][-0017],010 ;" "
