The only thing I can think of, is to try the same script without /D
this is all the commands I use for my backups; xcopy D:\ F:\ /y /e /c /h /r /v, it doesn't miss out any files, and never has.
I hope this helps. let me know.

I think the key here is your /h switch. Outlook .pst's by default are stored within %userprofile%/local settings/... which is a system/hidden folder by default.
