It was probably meant to be used on Windows 9X, not on XP.

It sounds like XP's COMMAND.COM's COPY command doesn't support long
file names, or does some auto truncation for some reason.

I'd suggest to do one of the following:

  (1) replace COPY with cp and DEL with rm -f

  (2) replace COPY with CMD.EXE /C COPY and similarly for DEL; this
      will force use of CMD.EXE instead of COMMAND.COM
