Copying Files Using MSBuild in TeamCity

I have the following xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <Project ToolsVersion="4.0" DefaultTargets="DeployPrototype" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
      <PropertyGroup>
        <dotCover>..\..\..\plugins\dotCover\bin\dotCover.exe</dotCover>
      </PropertyGroup>
      <ItemGroup>
        <SourceFiles Include="..\Prototype\Site\Site\Bin\TestServer\Default.html;..\Prototype\Site\Site\Bin\TestServer\Site.xap"/>
        <DestinationFolder Include="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ProjectName\Prototype"/>
      </ItemGroup>

      <Target Name="Build">
          <MSBuild Projects="../ProjectName.Web.sln" Properties="Configuration=testserver" />
          <Message Text="Building ProjectName solution" Importance="high" />
      </Target>

      <Target Name="TeamCity" DependsOnTargets="Build">
        <Message Text="Before executing MSpec command" Importance="low" />
        <Exec Command="..\packages\Machine.Specifications.0.4.10.0\tools\mspec-clr4.exe ..\Hosts\ProjectName.Hosts.Web.Specs\bin\ProjectName.Hosts.Web.Specs.dll --teamcity" />
        <Message Text="Ran MSpec" Importance="low" />
        <Exec Command="$(dotCover) c TestServerBuildAndRunTestsOnly_DotCover.xml" />
        <Message Text="##teamcity[importData type='dotNetCoverage' tool='dotcover' path='build\coverage.xml']" Importance="high" />
      </Target>

      <Target Name="DeployPrototype" DependsOnTargets="TeamCity">
        <Message Text="Before executing copy, source files are: @(MySourceFiles) and destination folder is: @(DestinationFolder)" Importance="low" />
            <Copy
              SourceFiles="@(MySourceFiles)"
              DestinationFolder="@(DestinationFolder)"
      />
        <Message Text="Atter executing copy" Importance="low" />
      </Target>
    </Project>

Everything in this script works separately from copying files. Messages placed in the copy section do not appear in the full TeamCity list. In the configuration settings of the latter, I set "DeployPrototype" as my goal.

Why is the copy operation not performed?

For this problem, due to the fact that MSBuild does not work in TeamCity, the answer almost always includes adding /v:d(each step is completed and information on the missed steps) or /v:diag(detailed dumps ItemGroup, etc. for diagnosing the goal) for the MSBuild arbiters, and the build exit with TeamCity support will have an answer.
