I'm running XCOPY via a batch and i am running into an "insufficient memory" error. I can't believe that to be true since i have 256MB.... any ideas?? it's not even a large amount of data (approx .2GB)

First of all: 0.2GB is about 200MB. I'm assuming here you mean kb and not gb.
How long is the file name? Shorten it to 8.3 and try copying again.

I have the exact same problem -- I'm using long filenames within qoutes inside my batch file, and it chokes with the memory error midway through a large file xcopy. You're saying I could fix this problem by using the generated shortnames within the batch file, but this would kill the destination long filenames -- not a happy prospect. Anybody have added input? Never had this problem with NT or 95/98.
