When I run my web application using Tomcat as a service
under windows 2000 (Tomcat 3.1.1) I'm running into a strange
message.

My app runs an eternal .cmd file to populate some 
directories.  One of the lines in the cmd file is
  xcopy InitialProject\*.*  Projects\%1 /E

This works fine when Tomcat is not a service, but when it
is a service, the server machine twice puts up a message
box with:

  "There is no disk in the drive.  Please insert a disk in the
    drive \Device\Harddisk\DR1."

If I hit "Continue" it goes on to work just fine.

If I put in two xcopy statements the message comes up
four times, so it seems to be a result of the two xcopy
arguments.

Changing the argument paths to explicit paths doesn't
help.  E.g.,
  xcopy C:\Tomcat\XXX\InitialProject\*.*  C:\Tomcat\XXX\Projects\%1 /E

Other commands (e.g., mkdir) don't seem to have any 
problem.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks,
