RPM copy multiple files

Question

I am trying to build an RPM which will copy some directories which files in them, however, I am getting an error message saying that the directory doesn't exist.

My code is as follows:

Version: 1
Release: 0
Summary: Copy user dirs / files rpm
Source0: user-files-1.0.tar.gz
License: GPL
BuildArch: noarch
BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-buildroot
%description
Write some descripton about your package.
%prep
%setup -q
%build
%install
install -m 0755 -d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/tmp/user-files
#install -m 0755 -d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/tmp/user-files/bin/
#install -m 0755 -d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/tmp/user-files/config/
#install -m 0755 -d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/tmp/user-files/lib64/
#install -m 0755 -d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/tmp/user-files/var/
#install -m 0755 -d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/tmp/user-files/usr/

cp $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/user_files-1/ $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/tmp/user-files

%clean
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
%post
echo . .
echo .I've finished copying the files!.
%files
%dir /tmp/user-files/*
#%dir /tmp/user-files/bin/
#%dir /tmp/user-files/config/
#%dir /tmp/user-files/lib64/
#%dir /tmp/user-files/var/
#%dir /tmp/user-files/usr/

The exact error is included below:

Will someone please tell me what I am doing wrong and how should I approach this problem?

Are you sure that's the spec file corresponding to the error? It looks incomplete, and there's nothing in there that looks reasonably related to the problem shown. — Michael Hampton, Aug 27 '15 at 15:19
Hi Michael, Thank you for your reply. Well I am pretty sure it is. — Sergiu, Aug 27 '15 at 15:28
you cannot use `cp` to copy a dir with `cp /dir/ /dest`. Is the trailing / a typo or are you missing a * or `cp -r`? — meuh, Aug 27 '15 at 15:49
`cp $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/user_files-1/ $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/tmp/user-files` — meuh, Aug 27 '15 at 16:06
@meuh well I have tried to use cp -r directory/files $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/tmp/user-files/ but it didn't worked — Sergiu, Aug 27 '15 at 16:20
Also I had another go meanwhile and this is what I have to do: http://pastebin.com/L5mXazDR And I am getting this error: http://pastebin.com/T49bWUgr So as you can see I am trying to copy all those files using cp or an alternative however, I am getting errors :( — Sergiu, Aug 27 '15 at 16:23
