Yes, assuming that I've understood your problem correctly.
AIUI, you have a directory called ..../some_directory, which contains a subdirectory 'dir1'. You want to copy dir1, and all its contents to a new directory, 'dir2', so that some_directory now contains both dir1 and dir2.
That's it in a nutshell.
If this is correct, then cd ..../some_directory cp -a dir1 dir2
should work (given appropriate permissions).
Excellent! Thanks! nick
