1) try with a local copy too, and you'll notice an error too - it's  
unrelated to other users holding the file open.
2) use either r'c:\mydata\data' or 'c:\\mydata\\data\'
3) shutil.copyfile copies ONE FILE at a time.
4) use glob.glob to find the desired set of files to be copied; and  
perhaps you'll find copy2 more convenient.
