Trapping the error during copy

I have a requirement:

During copy command for example:
Code:
cp -rf <sourceDir> <destinationDir>

this command may fails for many reasons like:
1. source or destination directory does not exist
2. destination directory does not have sufficient space
3. directories are not mounted
... Or may be any other reasons which are not in my head.

The problem is during scripting when we copy with -r (recursive option) then if any error occurs it got reported to the user recursively for all the files in the directory.

So if we use to dump these errors {I mean not to be shown to the user} we can very well do with:
Code:
2>/dev/null

But my problem is I want this error to be reported only once to the user, NOT repeatedly (i.e. not recursively n times)

Thanks in Advance.

EMPTY-PAGE(1)							 ExactImage Manual						     EMPTY-PAGE(1)

NAME
empty-page - empty page detector of the ExactImage toolkit SYNOPSIS
empty-page [option...] {-i | --input} input-file empty-page {-h | --help} DESCRIPTION
ExactImage is a fast C++ image processing library. Unlike many other library frameworks it allows operation in several color spaces and bit depths natively, resulting in low memory and computational requirements. empty-page counts dark pixels of a black and white image and decides with a threshold whether the page is most probably empty, and thus can be removed from the image processing stream. OPTIONS
-i file, --input file Read image from the specified file. -m n, --margin n Set width of border margin to skip. For speed reasons, the margin has to be a multiple of 8. The default is 16. -p x, --percentage x Set fraction of permissible dark pixels. The default is 0.05 (5%). -h, --help Display help text and exit. EXAMPLES
$ empty-page -i test.tif The image has 75461 dark pixels from a total of 1060992 (7.11231%). non-empty EXIT STATUS
The exit status is 0 if the image is mostly white, 1 otherwise. SEE ALSO
