Try to copy a directory using shutil.copytree, and you lost all the permission on the new directory.
You don't have permission on it.

Test Case : 

import shutil
dir = '/tmp/output1'
to = '/tmp/copy'
import os
os.makedirs(dir)
shutil.copytree(dir,to)
print "Copy using copyTree %s to %s " %(dir,to)

It's impossible to go on the to director ('Permission denied')

shutil should be portable code - we use the exact same version as CPython - but permissions support does depend on underlying JNR-Posix support, otherwise they are not applied.

That sounds like the problem here. Unfortunately we cannot really fix in this case.
