Have you tried Samba?  From a PC, map one drive to the source system (NT,
HP 3000 running Samba/iX, or UNIX running Samba), another drive to the
destination system (NT, HP 3000 running Samba/iX, or UNIX running Samba),
then select the files/directories you want to copy on the source drive,
right click drag and drop on the destination drive.  It works here, but YMMV.

If you must use a script, try using the Samba/iX client interface.  I
haven't used it much, and from what I've heard there are some problems with
it and keyboard input, but it might be an option.
