Did you try leaving off the semi colon? Like this, for instance:
copy from v55/v55_at_int to user/pwd_at_frog create DMF -
using select * from DMF_at_int
/
Notice that if you have several lines, you need to put a space and hyphen after each line except the last one. At least, that has been my experience.

Maybe a silly question, but do the databases use the same character set?
