On a mac, how do you copy a folder with files on the desktop to a subfolder in the directory on my search path?

I'm working with a mac and I'm trying to write a program which involves copying a directory (with the files I need) to either the directory on my search path or a sub-directory in that directory. I've tried a number of commands, but something like /Users/arthur/Desktop/the directory or /Users/arthur/Desktop/directory/file results in an error -- no such file or directory. It is crucial that I be able to do this or --- no program. Please help.

SRC = '/Users/arthur/Desktop/the directory'
DST = ' /Users/arthur/MATLAB/Area51/YetiImages';
if ~exist(SRC, 'dir')
error('Source not a directory: "%s"', SRC);
end
if ~exist(DST, 'dir')
try
mkdir(DST);
catch ME
error('Destination not a directory and could not be created: "%s"', DST);
end
end
cmd = sprintf('cd ''%s''; find . -depth -print | cpio -pdm ''%s''', SRC, DST);
fprintf('About to start command: "%s"\n', cmd);
try
[status, result] = system(cmd);
if status == 0
fprintf('I think it might have worked!\n');
else
fprintf('Something odd happened. System said:\n');
fprintf('%s\n', result);
end
catch ME
fprintf('Something went wrong when executing the command.\n');
end

I ran it exactly as you suggested and no files showed up in YetiImages until I added the copyfile command. Since I'm a total novice with MATLAB, I wouldn't presume to suggest why that happened. Also, thanks so much for your add suggestions. I'll try them.
