Copyfiles and Variable trouble

Ok, I'm either reading something incorrectly or theres a bug in NSIS somewhere... probably I'm reading it incorrectly...

I have this macro/function thingie, and it produces an error on this line:


CopyFiles "$EXEDIR\Updates\$R1\$R2" "$R0\$R2" "$R3"
And... well I've tried a number of different things. And I can get it to work without the third parameter... but for some reason, with or without quotes, the third parameter doesn't work and it flags a compile error. Any ideas?

Here is the code for the entire macro/function. 



Function fCopyAFile



;fType = R1, fName = R2, fSize = R3



    Pop $R3

    Pop $R2

    Pop $R1

    

    StrCpy $R0 "$INSTDIR\Bin"



    StrCmp "$R1" "IE" cIsIE

    StrCmp "$R1" "XP" cIsNormal

    StrCmp "$R1" "2k" cIsNormal



cIsIE:

    StrCpy $R0 "$INSTDIR\Bin\IE6"

cIsNormal:



    CopyFiles "$EXEDIR\Updates\$R1\$R2" "$R0\$R2" "$R3"

    IfErrors "" cEnd



    MessageBox MB_RETRYCANCEL "Error copying $EXEDIR\Updates\$R1\$R2! Try again?" IDRETRY cIsNormal

    Abort "Could not copy $EXEDIR\Updates\$R1\$R2"

cEnd:



FunctionEnd



!macro CopyAFile fType fName fSize



       Push fType

       Push fName

       Push fSize

       Call fCopyAFile



!macroend

I think that's because you aren't using it in a Section (where the "size" parameter is supported). I don't see this information in the documentation either.

Hmm...

a) Just an aside... My macro at the bottom had the actual words in there.. not variables..

b) When I change it to something like:


CopyFiles "$EXEDIR\Updates\$R1\$R2" "$R0\$R2" 1000
It works fine and doesn't complain...


Isn't it supposed to work with variables though?
