Ok, after some experiments:

The copy file is like this:
CustomActionSchedule(Action=CopyFile,ActionType=3073,Source=BinaryData,Target=CAQuietExec,CustomActionData="cmd.exe"
 /c
copy "C:\Program Files\OURCOMPANY\OURPRODUCT\OURFILE.exe" 
"C:\OURSTUFF\[LogonUser]\ADIRECTORY\\")

And now since I added InstallScope="perMachine" the LogonUser on XP gets set to 
SYSTEM instead of the user name.  And
this is why things fail on XP. 

On Win 7 this is not a problem.  The LogonUser stays as the user name.

How to fix this?
