I believe your problem is that these copy programs state 'df[0-3]:',
but when copying, they do not go through the DOS interface (i.e. the handler
you setup in your mountlist).  They assume that 'df[0-3]:' mean floppy
drives, and they either go through the 'trackdisk.device' interface, or
more likely, right to the floppy disk control hardware.

Either way, I believe you are SOL.

Hamish.
