it says "option --node-dir not a unique prefix", but it is!

Usage: tahoe cp [options] FROM.. TO
Options:
  -q, --quiet             Operate silently.
  -V, --version           Display version numbers.
      --version-and-path  Display version numbers and paths to their locations.
  -r, --recursive         Copy source directory recursively.
  -v, --verbose           Be noisy about what is happening.
      --caps-only         When copying to local files, write out filecaps
                          instead of actual data (only useful for debugging and
                          tree-comparison purposes).
  -d, --node-directory=   Specify which Tahoe node directory should be used. The
                          directory should either contain a full Tahoe node, or
                          a file named node.url that points to some other Tahoe
                          node. It should also contain a file named
                          'private/aliases' which contains the mapping from
                          alias name to root dirnode URI. [default:
                          '/home/zooko/.tahoe']
  -u, --node-url=         Specify the URL of the Tahoe gateway node, such as
                          'http://127.0.0.1:3456'. This overrides the URL found
                          in the --node-directory .
      --dir-cap=          Specify which dirnode URI should be used as the
                          'tahoe' alias.
      --help              Display this help and exit.

Use 'tahoe cp' to copy files between a local filesystem and a Tahoe grid. Any
FROM/TO arguments that begin with an alias indicate Tahoe-side files or non-file
arguments. Directories will be copied recursively. New Tahoe-side directories
will be created when necessary. Assuming that you have previously set up an
alias 'home' with 'tahoe create-alias home', here are some examples:

tahoe cp ~/foo.txt home: # creates tahoe-side home:foo.txt

tahoe cp ~/foo.txt /tmp/bar.txt home: # copies two files to home:

tahoe cp ~/Pictures home:stuff/my-pictures # copies directory recursively

You can also use a dircap as either FROM or TO target:

tahoe cp
URI:DIR2-RO:ixqhc4kdbjxc7o65xjnveoewym:5x6lwoxghrd5rxhwunzavft2qygfkt27oj3fbxlq4c6p45z5uneq/blog.html
./ # copy Zooko's wiki page to a local file

This command still has some limitations: symlinks and special files (device
nodes, named pipes) are not handled very well. Arguments should probably not
have trailing slashes. 'tahoe cp' does not behave as much like /bin/cp as you
would wish, especially with respect to trailing slashes.
