The copy itself works perfect. For testing purpose I create a crontab job on the sender side which creates one file named after the current day and deletes the old one. These files are being copied in the right place. But the old ones don't get deleted. Does your mail mean the copy and deletion work differently regarding the trailing slash? AFAIK the trailing slash means where to start with copying the destination files- but when they are in the right place on the destination files, they should be deleted.
