Ant's exec command example

Can someone give me an example of how to use Ant's exec command to 
copy a file? Everything I tried results in an IOException.

Here is what Iam doing:
     <exec dir="${basedir}" executable="/bin/cp -p ${srcDir}/* ${destDir}/.">
     </exec>

I figured it out!

This works:

     <exec executable="cp">
       <arg value="-p" />
       <arg value="-R" />
       <arg value="${srcDir}" />
       <arg value="${destDir}" />
     </exec>
