With RoboCopy, make sure you don't use a trailing backslash in the paths to long file/folder names:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If either the source or desination are a "quoted long foldername" do not include a trailing backslash as this will be treated as an escape character, i.e. "C:\some path\" will fail but "C:\some path\\" or "C:\some path\." or "C:\some path" will work.
