Wel, FWIW, *we've* never had that problem, nor has anyone
ever reported it before...

You didn't show [Graphics]GraphPath, so I assumed it was not
set.  If it is present, and is relative, we concatenate it
to the wrap dir to make the destination.  If it is absolute,
we simply use it as the destination for graphics.  If you
have [Automation]LogAuto=Yes, you'll see a line in the Frame
console output that shows the dir being made if it doesn't
already exist.

If that's not it, you could try doing the copy with a 
BookWrapCommand instead, as in par. 32.4.2.1, "Executing a 
system command".  At least then you could set

[BookFileCommands]
BookCommandWindow=Keep

so you could see any error messages you get from Windows,
which you can't with the Automation command.

HTH!
