Does robocopy have a limit in string length?

I tried this:
robocopy "C:\Documents and Settings\brazee\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\4iakaiea.default\" "C:\Documents and
Settings\brazee\My Documents\" bookmarks.html /E/XN/FFT


and got back:

Source - C:\Documents and Settings\brazee\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Pr
ofiles\4iakaiea.default" C:\Documents\
Dest - C:\BELFRY\and\

Files :
Options : /COPY:DAT /R:1000000 /W:30

XXCopy tells me it's not a WIN32 application either.

I'll try both hobocopy & XXcopy again, probably tomorrow (I'll be in
meetings the rest of today).

Not exactly true. It runs in a "DOS" (command prompt) window as
command-line application. As I remember it, there are both X32 and X64
variations too.
