Using Ghost 2003, when I try to create an image on an NTFS partition, in a subfolder which does not yet exist, I get error:

Abort:  662, Cannot create image file

I can create images in the same NTFS partition's *root* folder, and I can also create images in folders that don't yet exist on FAT32 partitions (Ghost creates the folder for me). 

But, does anyone know,   (It is easy to get Ghost to make a new subfolder on an NTFS partition when running *interactively*, so in principle, Ghost *should* be able to do what I want *in batch*...)

For example, I am trying the following from a batch file, where source partition 1:4 is FAT32 and destination partition 1:2 is NTFS:

ghost.exe
-batch
-clone,mode=pcreate,src=1:4,dst=1:2\GstImage\G060124A\IM60124A.GHO
-afile=1:2\GstImage\G060124A\IM60124A.ER1
-skip=@SKIPFILE.TXT
-auto
-split=1490
-z6

For bookkeeping reasons.  To keep images made on different dates in different subfolders, my batch file tries to create a subfolder with a name created from today's date.  (I admit this is esoteric, and I could in principle do it in Windows before or after running Ghost in DOS, but it would be cleaner to do it in DOS.)  But I don't know how to write to an NTFS partition from DOS98SE, so my batch file can't do it.  Ghost.exe is able to do this, when run interactively, but doesn't seem to want to create the folder when run in batch.

I split at 1490 so I can put 3 files on a DVD.  I seem to remember Ghost won't make image files larger than about 2 GB.
