Thanks Jay, sounds like a handy trick to have up my sleeve, but it didn't help in this case, I still get the same error.
However, I have found that the details I gave above appear to be wrong. It now looks like it's not /B causing this, it's /COPYALL. I suspect that's an error on my part rather than something caused by a change on the system. It also seems that Robocopy is setting the modified date correctly on files, it's only folders that have the wrong date. And after double checking this, the exact same behaviour occurs in windows. And that means that although I get these errors with /COPYALL, I can use a slightly modified command to do everything I want, transferring security settings and modified dates with no errors: robocopy <source> <destination> /E /B /SEC /R:1 /W:1 Thanks for the help everyone.
