VSO copy to task is failing for unknown reason

I have a visual studio team services build setup. I have 2 steps so far.

Visual Studio Build - this works beautifully Copy files - this works depending on where I set the target path too.

Now I need the outputted files to be deployed to our application. There are multiple tasks to use: copy files, copy and publish build artifacts, publish build artifacts, etc.

I decided on copy files because it seemed the most straight forward, and after all, I just need to copy files. :)

enter image description here My issue is that if I change the target folder to E:\test\ it copies everything wonderfully. However with the target folder set to the application path: E:\Program Files\App\CI I get the following error message:

******************************************************************************

In the error it says:

Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory 'E:\build\agent\tasks\CopyFiles\1.0.9\"E:'

The trailing "E: jumps out at me, but am not sure why it's doing that. Any thoughts on this?

The last time I see this issue with "Copy Files" task is that I entered a redundant blank space at the begin of the Target Folder path. I just tried it again and can still get the same error with the blank space enter. So you may need to check this and then try build again.enter image description here
