If you're using slashes then there's no need to double them. Also, you
don't need to end the folder names with slashes or backslashes (except
for root folders). That's what it doesn't like, apparently.

     source = "C:/Production"
     dest = "D:/Production"

     os.system('xcopy /E /I /Q "%s" "%s"' % (source, dest))
