P.S.- I did try running your script from my laptop for the heck of it and got this error: cp: illegal option -- a I double checked the man pages for cp and saw that -a wasn't an option. So I deleted the "-a " from your script and then it worked.
Unfortunately the BSD versions of the common commands, often aren't nearly as powerful as the GNU versions (for which -a works, and causes it to copy along all auxiliary information such as owner, protection, dates).
