I'm still not completely sure I understand what you want. You're copying multiple directories into one destination directory, but need to rename the directories in the process? You can't put a * in the destination like that, this isn't like DOS: The shell splits * for you before cp is even run, so you end up inputting stuff into cp that doesn't make sense if you * for things that don't exist yet.
I think you're going to have to split it into seperate cp calls.
Code:
for DIR in /home/*
do
# Don't copy exp into exp/exp-timestamp! It'd copy the copied copy copies!
[ "$DIR" == "/home/exp" ] && continue
NAME=`basename "$DIR"`
cp -p "/home/${NAME}" "/home/exp/`date`-${NAME}"
done

unburden-home-dir
UNBURDEN-HOME-DIR(1) User Commands UNBURDEN-HOME-DIR(1)NAME
unburden-home-dir - unburdens home directories from caches and trashes
SYNOPSIS
unburden-home-dir [ -n | -u | -f filter ]
unburden-home-dir ( -h | --help | --version )
DESCRIPTION
unburden-home-dir unburdens the home directory from files and directory which cause high I/O or disk usage but are neither important if
they are lost, e.g. caches or trash directory.
When being run it moves the files and directories given in the configuration file to a location outside the home directory, e.g. /tmp or
/scratch, and puts appropriate symbolic links in the home directory instead.
OPTIONS -f just unburden those directory matched by the given filter (a perl regular expression) -- matches the already unburdened directories
if used together with -u.
-F Do not check for files in use with lsof before (re)moving files.
-n dry run (show what would be done)
-u undo (reverse the functionality and put stuff back into the home directory)
-h, --help
show this help
--version
show the program's version
