Cp -r does not work if wild card entries are specified. Basically, it copies
all files, and ignores the wildcard entries.
cp -r /directory/you/want/to/copy/from/*.ext /new/destination copies all
files to destination instead of only *.ext files. I think this is a serious
bug and should be remedied

cp doesn't know about wildcards; they are a shell construct. Please see
the FAQ at http://tinyurl.com/59ovg
cp -r
