You may run into permission issues here. Better to go tar cvf -
{source} | (cd {destination} ; tar xfp - ), although with the
--preserve[=ATTR_LIST] switch to cp, you can also "preserve the
specified attributes (default: mode, ownership, timestamps)." From the
cp man page, although this is OpenSolaris. I suspect the GNU/Linux cp
will be similar.
