Everything in () shares input and output and can be in a different $PWD using cd, so it is good for moves from dir to dir with relative paths, and you can pipe them together just like commands.

So, the first module is an inline script to go to the source dir, find all the subdir and cpio them into a cpio archive written to stdout. Next, pipe that to a second inline script in (), which changes to the target dir and unpacks the archive on the pipe from stdin.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

(
 cd source_dir

 find * -type d | cpio -oaH crc 

 ) | (
  cd target_dir

  cpio -idmH crc

  )

Now, you could replace the second () with "gzip -9 >my_subtee.cpio.gz" and make a compressed archive file of the subtree for multiple use local or remote.

You could replace the second () with ssh and send the subtree compressed and secure to another host and id:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

(
 cd source_dir

 find * -type d | cpio -oaH crc 

 ) | ssh -l remote_id -C remote_host "
  cd target_dir

  cpio -idmH crc
  "

cpio(4) 						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							   cpio(4)

NAME

       cpio - Format of cpio archive

DESCRIPTION

       The header structure, when the -c option of cpio(1) is not used, is: struct {
		  short   h_magic,
			  h_dev;
		  ushort  h_ino,
			  h_mode,
			  h_uid,
			  h_gid;
		  short   h_nlink,
			  h_rdev
			  h_mtime[2],
			  h_namesize,
			  h_filesize[2]'
		  char	   h_name[h_namesize  rounded  to  word];  }  Hdr;  When  the  -c  option is used, the header information is described by:
       sscanf(Chdr,"%6o%6o%6o%6o%6o%6o%6o%6o%11lo%6o%11lo%s",
	 &Hdr.h_magic, &Hdr.h_dev, &Hdr.h_ino, &Hdr.h_mode,
	 &Hdr.h_uid, &Hdr.h_gid, &Hdr.h_nlink, &Hdr.h_rdev,
	 &Longtime, &Hdr.h_namesize,&Longfile,Hdr.h_name); The Longtime and Longfile are equivalent to	Hdr.h_mtime  and  Hdr.h_filesize,  respec-
       tively.	The contents of each file are recorded in an element of the array of varying length structures, archive, together with other items
       describing the file.  Every instance of h_magic contains the constant 070707 (octal).   The  items  h_dev  through  h_mtime  have  meanings
       explained in stat(2).  The length of the null-terminated path name h_name, including the null byte, is given by h_namesize.

       The  last  record of the archive always contains the name TRAILER!!!  Special files, directories, and the trailer are recorded with h_file-
       size equal to zero.
