Try setting CMD to "cmd.exe /c echo foo > C:\\test.txt"

Windows XP 2002 already contains a patch for this bug IIRC.

Try the change to the CMD parameter listed above. If that fails, try using 
a different payload, such as win32_bind, win32_reverse, or the VNC 
injection/Meterpreter payloads. Please report any success/failure 
differences off-list.

It sounds like its just a payload issue. The problem is that Windows 
doesn't have a command called "echo", only one called "cmd" that parses 
"echo" as an internal command.

Good luck!
