Tried this on Windows 8 64-bit - worked as advertised.
Sigh... NO... BetterRed is looking for a command solution to creating a NEW calibre library based on an existing one. So any custom columns defined in the metadata.db are wanted to be in the new library but NONE of the content.

Your command copies the directory structure to a new location without the actual database, so is almost the exact inverse of what is wanted.
