Robocopy error

I use the robocopy command all the time and it works perfectly, but for some reason I'm running into an issue.

I'm trying to copy one network share to another. I did open CMD as an administrator.

Command I'm using: "robocopy n: x:\Misc /e /copy:dat /xo /zb /w:2 /r:2

Error message, "Error 4390 (0x00001126) Accessing Destination Directory x:\Misc The file or Directory is not a reparse point."

What is a reparse point and why does Microsoft need a reparse point to copy folders and files?

Did you try a UNC path instead of a mapped drive?

Ex: robocopy n: \\server\share\misc

Yes, this time I tried with xcopy. I can navigate to the N: drive and look at it's content just fine. I can even create folders.
