Unhappy find cp

I'm trying to copy the latest files via script from one directory to another. I have tried the following:

find $SrcFileDir. -mtime 1 -print | xargs cp -R $TrgtFileDir \;

and

find $SrcFileDir -mtime 1 -type f -exec cp -afP {} $TrgtFileDir \;

Neither is working correctly, so I fear I'm missing something. In the script the SrcFileDir and TrgtFileDir variables are correctly set.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
