The todir attribute is to set the single directory where the files will be copied to. You can not use it to copy to multiple directories, and therefore wildcards are not allowed.
If you know there will be only one directory that matches the wildcard, but you don't know the exact name of the directory ahead of time (I can't imagine a use case) then you could do something like a direst followed by a pathconvert to get the actual dirname.
