I need to copy data from here 
 
/dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4  
 
To  
 
/dir5/dir2/dir3/dir4 
 
I need the path of dir2 on down to remain in tact.  But the top folder 
is changing. 
 
I basically want to copy dir4 from one filesystem to another and retain 
it's path, short the name of the first directory (dir1/dir5).  Without 
having to manually go in and create dir2 and dir3, which are both empty. 
 
IS there a way to make cp do this?  I can't find one, it just errors out 
stating that the destination path is invalid.  I'm struggling to find a 
way to get tar to do this well. 
 
I have about 400 directories like this to copy, so I need to figure out 
a command line to script this sucker out. 
 
Thanks, 
Travis
