The source for copytree says, "The destination directory must not
already exist." I suppose that is why you have a problem but I don't
know the specific cause. Did you get a traceback?
The source also says, "Consider this example code rather than the
ultimate tool" so maybe you should just copy it and make a version that
does what you want. See shutil.py in your Python lib directory.
