Both have been around for many, many years. Richcopy came out in 2001, so I
wouldn't look at it as a replacement.

As for your dilemma, I would either try that third party software that I
mentioned, or take up Pegasus on his offer with the VB script.

If I were you, and this is a production critical sceanrio, I would look at
the easiest and most efficient way possible to get your task done.

The OP could run robocopy with the /L switch. It won't copy anything but it
just might report the invalid file names.
