And nothing displayed after the first pause and before the second?  No 
error, and no "1 file(s) copied"?

Try adding an "echo" before the "copy" so you can see what, exactly, was passed:

   system "pause & echo copy /y c:" { bs { "test.txt testnew.txt & pause"

Obviously, the command line is being executed, since you get the two "press 
any key to continue" messages.
