I have quite a number of apps I use this syntax in without ANY problems. I did recompile the app but had not changed anything other than updating a report. I am concerned.

The first obvious problem is the lack of a trailing backslash in the target path - you may need to say:

Copy To (ADDBS(gsDbfPath)+'somefile.xls') type XLS

Leaving that out results in an invalid UNC reference.
