Using the /XF switch in a job file results in "Invalid Job File"
error. As a test, I am trying to exclude a file called Cisco.ht. All
files copy without the switch, and using the switch in the actual
command line works fine. Perhaps I have been up to long, but I just
cannot figure this out.

OK, I HAVE been up to long. I used the /SAVE switch to create a job
file from the command line form that worked. The use of the /XF
switch and white space is quite confusing.
BEFORE (Incorrect):
::
/XF Cisco.ht :: eXclude Files matching these names
::
AFTER (Correct):
::
/XF :: eXclude Files matching these names
Cisco.ht
