It claims to allow you to use unformatted diskettes in the backup process (formatting on the fly), however I have found that it creates hard errors on floppies about 25% of the time. I've never had any problem with it. And yes, I use that option and feed it floppies fresh out of the box. I also only create OFS floppies. There was a problem with FFS floppies in XCO before version 1.5 or thereabouts. Have you been using FFS? And do you have the latest version (1.55, as of last weekend)?
