I figured it out. It may be convoluted but it works.
Code:
c=$(cd ../../bla/bla ; find . -name *.xyz) # Set variable c to filename (./filename.xyz)
c=$(c:3:23) # Remove "./" from c variable's filename
c=.$(c:0:26) # Add a "." to the variable filename
cp ../..bla/bla/*.zyz ./$c # Copy the file and rename it with c variable's name
The reason I need to do it this way is because I need the filename to retain it's original name but still add the . as a prefix.

The only reason I'm naming the files with a . is under mac OSX .files are invisible to the average user. I'm working at a place and the mgt here gets all pissy if they see a file somewhere they don't expect it to be, but for things to load automatically they need to be in a certain place ... So, I'm copying the files with the . prefix so I don't have to listen to, "Why is this here?"
Come to think of it I don't know why they ask that question. They don't care why they're there and only want me to delete them regardless of the reason.

ASNTOOL(1) NCBI Tools User's Manual ASNTOOL(1)NAME
asntool - process ASN.1 module specifications
SYNOPSIS
asntool [-] [-B filename] [-D N] [-G] [-I str] [-J type] [-K str] [-L str] [-M filename,...] [-P str] [-Q] [-S filename] [-T filename] [-V]
[-X filename] [-Z] [-b N] [-d filename] [-e filename] [-f filename] [-l filename] -m filename [-o filename] [-p filename] [-t str]
[-v filename] [-w N] [-x filename]
DESCRIPTION
asntool reads, validates, and displays ASN.1 module specifications.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below.
- Print usage message
-B filename
Generate objects and code in files named filename.*
-D N Debugging level for code generation:
0 No debugging (default)
1 Shallow debugging
2 Deep debugging
3-9 Same as 2
-G Generate object loader .c and .h files
-I str Put "#include str" in generated .c file
-J type
Register type type with object manager
-K str In generated .c, force name of #included asn header to str
-L str Label registered type as str

-P str XML module prefix for DOCTYPE
-Q Use quoted syntax form for generated include files
-S filename

-T filename
Dump ASN.1 tree to filename
-V Force CHOICE objects to use custom structures rather than ValNodePtrs, for compatibility with some old hand-coded object loaders.

-Z Bit twiddle for optional zero value base slots
-b N Use N-byte buffers (default = 1024; anything between 512 and 10000 is legal)
-d filename

-e filename
Write binary values to filename
-f filename
Write ASN.1 module to filename
-l filename
Write ASN.1 loader to filename
-m filename
Read ASN.1 module from filename
-o filename
Write header to filename
-p filename
Write print values to filename
-t str Expect binary values to have type str
