The easist way is to copy it from the original again and either use 'cp
-a' which will preserve permissions correctly or use tar which will also
preserve permissions correctly.
Becarefull about overwriting /proc and /dev though as that can cause
problems.
eg.
cp -a /old /new
cd /old ; tar cf - . | (cd /new ; tar xvpf - )
