Where do you think your code is creating the folder?  I don't see that
happening anywhere.

I also don't understand why you are doing another os.listdir().  Everything
you need is already being supplied to you by the os.walk, and it is taking
the extra step of separating the directories and the files automatically.

Why can't you just iterate through "dirs" creating your subdirectories, and
then iterate through "files" doing the copies?  Then, when os.walk calls
you with the files in the subdirectories, you'll know those directories
already exist.
