Stretching my brain here, but I think you want:
DX1:*.*=DX0:*.*/X/Y
The "/X" means to copy the files individually, without concatenation
The "/Y" means to copy the *.SYS files (without this, you'd get
some ?NO SYS ACTION? messages).

DCOPY almost certainly does a block-by-block copy ("image mode"), not
a file-by-file copy. So you'd naturally get the boot block.
