Two errors: %userprofile% (as well "Internet Explorer" and "Quick Launch") contains spaces, so the path has to be enclosed in quotes, and you can't start the path with a backslash:
copy "\\server1\world\phones.ur
copy "\\server1\world\phones.ur

Sorry, missed a third error (not related to your error message, though).
You're basically correct using %Userprofile% (instead of "C:\documents and settings\%username%", as way too many people do) when trying to access a user's profile; but when it comes to the application data, you should use another variable, "%AppData%":
copy "\\server1\world\phones.ur
