Java cp: cannot stat: No such file or directory

Hi there, I need some help with cp files from one directory into several others. The code is as follows:

SUB=`ls src_directory | wc -l`

OUT_LOOP=$(($SUB / $MK_NUMS))

IN_LOOP=$(($SUB % $MK_NUMS))

COUNT=$MK_NUMS

while [[ $COUNT -gt 0 ]]
do
mkdir dst_directory$COUNT
ls -1 src_directory | head -$OUT_LOOP |
while read file
do
cp $file dst_directory$COUNT
done
COUNT=$(($COUNT-1))
done

However when I run the code I get the following error message ($COUNT times):

cp: cannot stat `<filename>': No such file or directory

Please help!!!

NAME
ngettext - translate message and choose plural form SYNOPSIS
ngettext [OPTION] [TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID MSGID-PLURAL COUNT DESCRIPTION
The ngettext program translates a natural language message into the user's language, by looking up the translation in a message catalog, and chooses the appropriate plural form, which depends on the number COUNT and the language of the message catalog where the translation was found. Display native language translation of a textual message whose grammatical form depends on a number. -d, --domain=TEXTDOMAIN retrieve translated message from TEXTDOMAIN -e enable expansion of some escape sequences -E (ignored for compatibility) -h, --help display this help and exit -V, --version display version information and exit [TEXTDOMAIN] retrieve translated message from TEXTDOMAIN MSGID MSGID-PLURAL translate MSGID (singular) / MSGID-PLURAL (plural) COUNT choose singular/plural form based on this value If the TEXTDOMAIN parameter is not given, the domain is determined from the environment variable TEXTDOMAIN. If the message catalog is not found in the regular directory, another location can be specified with the environment variable TEXTDOMAINDIR. Standard search directory: /usr/share/locale AUTHOR
