Batch File to transer files from one server to another

I would like to use xcopy to copy a folder with subfolders and enclosed
files, most of which are encrypted by the XP limited user, with the
destination a usb drive sometimes connected to the laptop.

so far my batch file generates a "file not found" error. Can that message
be generated by a permission problem? (or have I somehow miscoded the
path/name)?

There is an xcopy parameter that causes XCOPY to unencrypt the source file.
how and why does this work (if it works) on source files encrypted by a
limited XP user account when the batch file is executed by another user(even
administrator)? Wouldn't that be a pretty obvious security loophole?
