PS3 A little help with "copy.ps3/copy_ps3" function needed

Hello as I am new here so I would try to provide all needed information. I am on Rebug 4.84 if I am correct. Not using HEN as PS3 was flashed into CFW from low version firmware.

Now to the problem, I need to be able to swap RetroArch configuration files on the go as it keeps login information for RetroAchievements and more than one person use this function at my place. I thought that using webman commands will sort it out for me but... it does not work somehow.

My autoexec.bat looks like this:
Code:
wait 2
/delete_ps3/dev_hdd0/game/RETROARCH/USRDIR/retroarch.cfg
wait 1
/popup.ps3*Retroarch config deleted
/copy.ps3/dev_hdd0/savy_me/konfigi_ra/user2/retroarch.cfg&to=/dev_hdd0/game/RETROARCH/USRDIR/
wait 6
/popup.ps3*Retroarch USER2 config loaded

So the file /dev_hdd0/game/RETROARCH/USRDIR/retroarch.cfg gets deleted but the file retroarch.cfg from
/dev_hdd0/savy_me/konfigi_ra/user2 does not get copied to /dev_hdd0/game/RETROARCH/USRDIR.

Cannot get what am I doing wrong. I've tried copied it to /dev_hdd0 in case i made some tiny mistake in folder names but that does not work either. I tried to add "http://localhost" as I saw some people use this before the copy function but it also did not sort it out.

Hopefully you can help me out here.

ps. just in case you wonder, I want user2 config to be copied at console boot as I can manually move my config but do not want to do it after I finish playing. in future I plan to add button combo to move my config in place in case i am using retroarch but for less experienced user i want their config to be loaded by default.
 
/copy.ps3/dev_hdd0/savy_me/konfigi_ra/user2/retroarch.cfg&to=//dev_hdd0/game/RETROARCH/USRDIR/retroarch.cfg

1. Notice the retroarch.cfg was added to the 2nd parameter

2. A double // was added to force a copy. If source & destination start with /dev_hdd0, it uses symlink

Hello aldostools, even if I am not a big PS dude I still recognize your tools :). But about my problem... it does not work.
I forgot to mention, I tried copying desired configuration files from first USB drive once as I thought it may sort things out but it did not. Yet I used the command you wrote, added file name at the end and // but it is still the same - RetroArch starts with fresh configuration file as it cannot find any file because it gets deleted. Same story, the file gets deleted but the copy function somehow does not work as it should.

I hope there is something else I can try.
 
Sorry for double posting but just in case someone is in same situation - I found keeping every retroachievement user configuration file on mobile and replacing them when needed via FTP is in my opinion the easiest way to make it work.
