Copying directories between two areas in Perforce Depot

I have two areas:

//depot/path/to/area1/...
//depot/another/path/to/area2/...

I work in both areas, and need to copy files in both areas back and forth. I assumed a 

p4 copy //depot/path/to/area1/... //depot/another/path/to/area2

would do that, but when I "p4 sync" in the second area nothing downloads. I check in p4v, but don't see anything in the changelists.

Does anyone know how to do this?

*Yes I know I should not have the same files in two areas, but that is out of my control.

In order to integrate/copy files/changes from //depot/path/to/area1/... to //depot/another/path/to/area2/... you need to call:

p4 copy //depot/path/to/area1/... //depot/another/path/to/area2/...
p4 submit

You need to do that in a client that has the targetpath in its clientview. The targetpath is //depot/another/path/to/area2/...
