Xcopy

I have created a batch file containing the xcopy command. It contains the following: xcopy c:\mcafee\server\*.* \\agile\virusupd
when I run the batch file from a command prompt it works, no problem. When I have the batch file execute from a Mcafee task it always gets invalid drive specification. Any thoughts? Thanks - John
