Here's what I get...
Code:
mkdir -p "/Users/diegoa/Desktop/itunesdir/Music/Smashing Pumpkins/Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness - Dawn To Dusk"
cp "/Volumes/Diego_External/Music/Smashing Pumpkins/Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness - Dawn To Dusk/02 Tonight, Tonight 1.mp3" "/Users/diegoa/Desktop/itunesdir/Music/Smashing Pumpkins/Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness - Dawn To Dusk/02 Tonight, Tonight 1.mp3"

Which is perfect if I copy it and run it on the shell.
