I think that shutil.copy() expects a string( from info in 
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-shutil.html), while you are 
passing a one element list.

If you want it to copy all the matching files, you probably need to iterate 
over the list (in unix format):
>>> for file in glob.glob(r'./unpack/*'):
...     shutil.copy(file, '/tmp')

Alternatively, if you know that there will always be only one file, you could 
extract it with a slice operator.

I'm still getting into this - so this might be all wrong. But worth a thought, 
perhaps.
