These should be SYS: DH0:System
		C:   DH0:System/c
etc no trailing slash. I assume that this is your faulty memory coming 
into play :-).

Two questions spring to mind : 
  A) Why are your workbench directorys one deep in the disk heirarchy ?
     Specifically, did you really copy every thing to a directory 'System'
     on the hard disk? 
  b) Does your L: directory contain disk-validator ?
