I wouldnt use a platform specific 'cp' command.
Why dont you use <copy>?
<mkdir dir="${workspaceView.PDFS}"/>
<copy todir="${workspaceView.PDFS}">
<fileset dir="${workspaceView.DOCS}" includes="**/*"/>
</copy>
Another point is that your '*' is not resolved by 'cp', this is resolved by
the shell interpreter.
Maybe this would work
<exec
executable="/usr/bin/sh" failonerror="true">
<arg value="cp"/>
<arg line="${workspaceView.DOCS }/*"/>
<arg line="${workspaceView.PDFS}/"/>
</exec>
