Duplicate item with new name to same folder?

Subject: Duplicate item with new name to same folder?

This _must_ be obvious, but I'm scratching my head about it.

set docpath to (path to documents folder as string) tell application "Finder" to duplicate file XMLFile to file docpath & "NewFile.xml"

That doesn't seem to work. I looked it up, and the book says it wants a folder or disc name as where to copy to.

Right, so I tried

tell application "Finder" to duplicate file XMLFile to docpath with properties {name: "NewFile.xml"

That doesn't even compile. Help! What obvious thing am I missing?
