found the solution after a bit more web-fishing.

To *copy* drupal files from one directory to another directory on the 
same server while preserving permissions:

Starting from the source directory:

find . -depth -print | cpio -pdlmv [newdir]


:-)

soooooo much faster than the silly zip/DL/UL/unzip rigamarole i'd been 
trying to do
