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 immediately.
