Ron,
I too need to make "Real Copies" of images and hate doing anything directly from the OS because of the chance that my LR catalog gets out of Sync with the actual images on the computer.  So I make the copies inside LR with an export routine and then move the copies inside of LR with the normal drag and drop.  Once the export preset is created it can be executed from the Library Grid by right-clicking on the image (or selected images) to make the copies.  My settings are as follows in case you are interested:
This is the first time I have posted an image before and I am not sure if you will be able to read it or not.  The contents from the export preset in the image above are as follows if that helps:
s = {
id = "3AF0E3D2-BC6A-4D53-A7BE-B7A6C4D673AC",
internalName = "Make Real File Copy",
title = "Real File Copy",
type = "Export",
value = {
collisionHandling = "overwrite",
exportFilters = {
exportServiceProvider = "com.adobe.ag.export.file",
exportServiceProviderTitle = "Hard Drive",
export_colorSpace = "sRGB",
export_destinationPathSuffix = "",
export_destinationType = "sourceFolder",
export_useSubfolder = false,
extensionCase = "lowercase",
format = "ORIGINAL",
includeVideoFiles = false,
initialSequenceNumber = 1,
jpeg_limitSize = 100,
jpeg_useLimitSize = false,
metadata_keywordOptions = "lightroomHierarchical",
minimizeEmbeddedMetadata = false,
outputSharpeningLevel = 2,
outputSharpeningMedia = "matte",
outputSharpeningOn = false,
reimportExportedPhoto = true,
reimport_stackWithOriginal = true,
reimport_stackWithOriginal_position = "below",
renamingTokensOn = true,
size_doConstrain = false,
size_resolution = 300,
size_resolutionUnits = "inch",
tokenCustomString = "RC",
tokens = "{{image_name}}_{{custom_token}}",

Let me know if you have any questions.
